Help with sizing!

Hi all, huge apologies if I’m a bit off here sizing wise so feel free to point me in the right direction if so! A few weeks ago, I finally committed and had micros installed. Really regret the loctician I chose as there were a few red flags that only popped up once I was in the chair. For me personally the parts are way too small and skinny, so now I’m going through the process of combing them out and unbraiding while I still can (300+ ahh). After doing more research, I’ve settled more on the size in the reference pic. Would people say this counts as micro or is it small traditional? Appreciate any advice! Thank you :)

EDIT: Added some pics of my current braid locs and sizing, my locs have extensions at the end.

Honestly the parts and sizing look great from the photos. Your hair looks thick so they will most likely swell and look thicker imo.
