I topped most of my plants at a very early stage, once I noticed the buds forming I cut them off. I left a few other plants to bud longer.
I can see a big difference in leaf size between the topped and not topped plants, I know this is expected but just wanted to experiment a bit.
I was going to wait until at least one flower blooms before topping on those to see if the leaves do get as big as the currently topped ones.
It has been taking a while for these to flower and expected them to already have flowered.

I'm expecting that those topped earlier will have larger leaf size then those plants topped later.

The plants on the left were topped soon after the buds were formed. the ones on the right have not been topped.
Leaf size is much bigger on the topped ones.

I have never compared, that is one noticeable size difference.
