Scaling the shape down uniformly is not optimal for good optical scaling.   
You would also likely reduce the overall line thickness slightly, and  
shrink the middle "cross" somewhat less than the arms so that it does not  
fill with ink (the arm corners have theoretically the same problem, but it  
tends to be less serious than the middle).

It is customary to then create a number of large-scale proofs with slight  
graduation in parameters, possibly with surrounding tight note heads (so  
that one can judge the best compromise also actually saving space), and  
stare at them from a distance until your eyes fall out.
