Does anyone know how big this cube from Unimatrix Zero was, related to the standard cube?

Smaller.

Well lets see...
Scale it to the size of Voyager which is 344 meters and compare that to the Defiant which is 120, except when it's next to any other ship and is 170. Then factor the varied cube size, and square the length of the Defiant's 170...
Um, no clue...

About the same size:

Naked stuff! Where! I want some!
The Tactical Cube is the same size as all other cubes - 3km by 3km by 3km (roughly), about 28 cubic km, just a hell of a lot tougher. See my link to the site in the Warbird discussion, it's all there.

Its not prooven to be tougher than the regular cubes we seen in "BOBW" or "FC"
besides---if cubes with armor are give classes and general designations as tacticle.....
then what are the regular cubes designated?

FWIW, in those pictures above Voyager looks a lot closer to the Tactical Cube than the Plain-Vanilla one. But you can't really get a good impression of depth for scaling purposes.
Sternbach has said that he thinks that Borg cubes don't come in fixed sizes, and grow as they assimilate.

Which makes some vaugue amount of sense.. If the cubes that had made it all the way to Earth had done so by assimilating their way there (and going via "slow" transwarp), their immense size compared to the Voyager cubes could be rationalized.
The obvious reason is so that in the VFX shots Voyager wouldn't look so puny as to be barely made out against the cubes. God, I miss the ole' Galaxy class days...
