Reply to comment by morningcoffee1 in Hello there; I’ve got a question for the astronomers: how sparse is our local cluster? by Steel-Rains

Are the galaxies on average much smaller in the Virgo cluster?

nope... a similar smorgasbord of large and small. However, the Virgo cluster does have several elliptical galaxies which "we" do not have. We have two large spiral galaxies and a bunch of irregular ones, but no elliptical.
