I thought blackholes had a difference in mass, depending on the amount of matter that went into it... more mass absorbed = more massive blackhole, with bigger gravity effects surrounding it.
Bigger gravity, yes. But, bigger size? I thought not! If a singularity is of just one size, then the illustration would have to be of equal sizes for both black holes.

The illustration is not of the black hole, proper, but of the event horizon which, of course, is larger for more massive black holes.
