It really boils down to what you do with your phone, if you are texting a lot, using apps via wi-fi and generally doing screen intensive activities then the Note 2 is fantastic.

I don't think it's too big or impractical at all. After using it for a bit it just seems silly to try to use a phone with a tiny screen for anything other than voice calls. It seems smaller and easier to handle then the Note 1 which I did think looked huge.

And the battery life, well it's amazing. By far the best of any phone I have ever owned. Also I've got 64 gigs of FLAC files on mine and it's a fantastic music device, by far the best phone I have used so far.
