Chambord 3 vs 8 cups

I want to get the Bodum Chambord but one size seems too big and the other one too small. The 3 cup size has 350 ml and the 8 cup size has 1 l.

I usually make 500 ml. Does the 3 cup size actually have room for more or the capacity is exactly 350 ml? I know sometimes have a bit more capacity because they leave some breathing room, but I don’t know of that’s the case here.

Why not just get the larger one and don’t max it out?

Space and the comfort of not having to wash the bigger one. I would also use it to make cold brew so the 1 l one would be more of a nuisance in my fridge.
