I did a lot of research before I bought the Caruso set. I am very glad I did. Together, with the ones that came with my set and the ones I bought afterwards, I have 12 medium, 18 small, 12 jumbo, and 6 petite.
I have a lot of flexibility - I can roll the jumbo/medium for a quick hairstyle before a night out. I spend the time doing medium, small, and petite for a big day or for Sunday.
A couple of tips if you're hair is super straight like mine:
Put a little mousse/gel in your hair in the middle of blow-drying. Gel will keep the hold better than mousse.
Be sure your hair is bone dry before starting.
While the set is heating up, "set up" the rest. Separate your rollers and clips on the counter before you start doing your hair (stand them up), and use hair clips to separate your hair into chunks. I do three chunks: top crown, mid section, and below/behind the ears.

Great - but ditto on the sponge dilemma...,

I, too, have had the Caruso steam roller system since it rolled around the first time back in the early 90's, and it's been wonderful. Beautiful, soft long-lasting curls every time. I agree however, with the sponge-versus-whole roller problem, but I improvised a bit:
I bought a bunch of inexpensive, pink foam rollers and removed the plastic spines from each. Then, I disassembled my Caruso rollers and replaced the original, worn-out foams with these new foams. They worked like a charm, and although they don't last quite as long as the Caruso foams do, they do last quite a while and are cheap enough to replace as often as needed. Just thought I'd share that tip.

Beautiful soft curls!,

The Caruso hairsetter works so well that my hair really grabs on to the curl. I have thick hair so some of smaller sized rollers give me too-tight curls and make my hair too puffy. My hair is a few inches below my shoulders and the jumbo sized rollers give me nice soft curls.
These rollers are quite large so if you want to add a bit of volume to short hair or soft curls for longer hair, they are the perfect size!
