To be honest I have never seen the SU's at their true potential though it would be nice so we could guage their performance better.

I have been surfing quite a lot around to find pic.s illustrating the size of the flanker.
But for at start one can mention the measurements of the two (SU/F-16):
Lenght: 70 feet vs. 48 feet!
Vingspan: 48 feet vs. 31 feet!
Short conclusion: The lenght of the F-16 is the same as the wingspan of the Flanker!!

Morely I've found a couple of pic.s of SU's on the ground.
Since I'm not aware of any costum telling NOT to advise HTTP's in a forum like this, I'm serving them here:
The site is: WWW.aviation.ru ! And the pic's lays on the connected adresses:
/su/27/su-27_g.lpg.html
/su/27/su-27_l.lpg.html
/su/27/su-27ub.jpg.html
/su/27/su-27ubk.jpg.html
/su/30/su-30_b.jpg

Check them out! It is really HUGE!
