Clarifying examples about comparatives and superlatives

Hello,
I've tried to create clarifying examples about comparatives and superlatives, and organise them.

Are they good examples?
Please, could you correct the mistakes?
Are these the most frequently-used types?

Thanks.


1000 is marginally the biggest number in the list.

999 is almost (or nearly) the biggest number in the list.

295 is nearly (or almost) as big as 300.

Comparative to a lower degree: It's not common to use the term "less big than". The more common term is "not as big as".

300 is far (or a lot or much) smaller than 1000. 

200 is smaller than 300.   

295 is slightly (or a bit, or a little) smaller than 300.   

300 is not as big than 200   200 is not as big as 300.

295 is not quite as big as 300.
