I find that the larger motion makes it easier to maintain kuzushi and also that the "stretch" of the larger motion helps to keep me out of range for ukes fists.
I've found this as well. That stretching effect also helps the throw to start affecting the body and posture well before the wrist is actually twisted.

Some of my Jujutsu pals use the short tight twisting movement but under full resistance unless the person is much bigger than I it simply does not work.
