Vic Scissors?

You should try the Classic first and see if it meets your needs. I think it will, as it does for me. The full sized scissors are definitely more powerful (double?), but also a bit less precise since they are larger. This is a factor when doing delicate first-aid or grooming jobs (trim hang-nail, etc.). The only time the small scissors seem too small is for heavy cutting like opening the plastic clam shell packaging that is so frustrating. For that I would use the main blade on the Soldier anyway.
The Classic will also add several other tools to your tool set which may come in handy. It also makes a good loaner since it can be replaced for $7 (WalMart or Target).
Going from a 2-layer SAK to a 3-layer SAK will make a noticeable difference in your pocket.

Another possibility is Vic's Rambler, only a bit thicker, but adding to the tool mix a useful small ph screwdriver and "better than nothing" cap lifter. As an alternative, a Leatherman Micra or Squirt S4 can provide larger scissors with only a slight increase in bulk over the Classic. All of these have served me well, each with its own "personality," depending on what else I carry on a given day.

That's a great little keychain knife. I carried one for years.
But if in time you find those scissors not up to the cutting jobs you usually do, I second znapschatz's recommendation on the Leatherman Micro. I've had one on my keys for 6 or 8 years now, and those scissors are almost like mini tin snips. Super tough. I often use them for cutting things like 16 gauge lamp cord, cable ties, etc., as well as paper. They're only just now needing a bit of a sharpening. And there's no little spring to worry about, as in the Victorinox scissors.
