If you can comfortably play a dread, why go smaller?
But the reality is that you can play blues on anything. Seriously - any guitar makes a good blues guitar, and any good guitar makes a great blues guitar. I mostly play my bluesy stuff on one of my "blues guitars" (the Guild, the Mineur, or sometimes the Cole Clark Angel) but every now and then I happen to play blues-flavoured things on the theoretically unsuitable Messiah - a classic sweet-voiced spruce and rosewood guitar, rich and plummy-voiced a bit like a Taylor. And what happens? It sounds great. Sometimes I play blues-flavoured stuff on my gigantic Tacoma baritone. That works great too. If I had a ukulele that would sound ....well, it would sound like crap. There are limits. But in general, they all work.
Personally Id go smaller, or at least give it a go - a good / well built "slightly" smaller guitar (OM) you wont notice much loss of tone, but will have different dynamics - you may find it more comfortable, you might not.
Drop down further to 00 / parlor and with shorter scales and 12 fret joins - they all provide different playing palettes
Ive got 3 (and had 5) different sizes of acoustics, and they all play/sound/respond differently and one isnt worse or better than the other. ( as does the wood they're made from)
You "have" to try different models to find the one that suits, much as trying LPs Strats Teles "pointy things" with electrics - and it can take years - but thats all the fun
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
