I was just wondering if the time ever comes when you just "maintain" the size of the tree in question, instead of continuing to develop it as it goes upwards.... I guess it's like some of you said, when it looks right to the grower of the tree, it has reached it's full height.

You have it exactly. It can either look "just right" (if you're real lucky
), or, more likely, it's getting as big as you want it to, due to your size limits imposed by space, weight, etc.
I have a (pre-bonsai) ficus Burtt Davyi 'nana (super dwarf leaves) coming from florida that dbz12fan helped me pick out. Simple clipping would give me a nice bonsai, but I plan to cut it back, literally to the bare trunk to get a better, smaller tree.
It's a matter of preference.
