Are eggs from Jumbo Coturnix larger than eggs from regular Coturnix japonica?

[fiddleblue]

I am considering getting Jumbo Coturnix. Are their eggs larger than those of the regular (I guess it's called brown) Coturnix japonica? Do they eat more? What are the advantages of the Jumbo Coturnix, other than a larger carcass for meat production?

I would be interested in finding out the answer to this question as well - I am getting started with quail specifically for the eggs. (Husband and I can neither one eat chicken eggs, but quail eggs are fine.)
