I have a different opinion with regards to midsized companies: if you have 20+ employees, you can afford to drop $X0k on a consulting engagement without it being more than a percent of payroll. Often, there are two or three people in the company who could a) individually decide to pull that trigger and b) reasonably speak about the matter to an outside consultant.
YMMV, but midsized companies have been my sweet spot for consulting engagements. They've got the agility of one-man shops with the attitude towards spending money of businesses as opposed to people.
