  You may want to mention what the difference is between scalebox2$X_2^2$ and huge$X_2^2$. Or, maybe more easily, you could discuss the difference between scalebox2.06X and huge X. (Hint: It matters that Computer Modern fonts employ optical sizing.)

  scalebox scales its contents linearly, by the factor given in the first argument. But if you compare the outputs of scalebox2.5X and Huge X, notice that the latter letter is drawn more finely, i.e, with thinner strokes; also, the serifs are shorter. Conversely, when comparing the outputs of scalebox0.5X and tiny X, notice that the latter letter's strokes are much thicker. Computer Modern fonts employ optical sizing: larger-than-normal letters are drawn with thinner strokes, while smaller-than-normal letters are drawn with heavier strokes. This improves legibility.

  If the enlarging steps conform to the factor-1.2 progression (as is the case for normalsize-large-Large etc), and if the font in use employs optical scaling (as is the case for Computer Modern), then it's probably a good idea to employ large, Large, etc. If, however, if the required magnification cannot be achieved by large, Large, etc, or if the (math) font doesn't employ optical scaling, scalebox is more convenient.
