Default Primary fermentation vessel sizes

Does anyone have an opinion regarding the relative size of the
primary? I make about 100 gal/.year and this is plit into three
primaries. I would like to go to one primary so that I can do 1/3 the
work and also lessen the variability. It seems that when one is done,
typically the others are at slightly different stages. Not to
mention , the temps and fermentation activty throughout the process
varies between the three. Thoughts? I was looking for a vessel large
enough, but I get into the $300 range before shipping. This is a
little more than I want to spend when I already spend $700 on grapes.
