Texel-Density confusion

Gustavo_Elliott

So I've been modeling the stun baton for the monthly environment art challenge and was wondering if the following change in texel density would be noticeable between the objects, should I stop trying to fit that large cylinder piece into a unique texture and instead take a medium-poly approach with a generic tiling texture ?  or should I just scale up the other texture set of the smaller piece to try to match the density closer?

Matching with the pixel sizes across the same model is generally preferred.

There are exceptions, but this doesn't seem to fit any of those.

Thanks for the response and advice @Eric Chadwick
