    Have you checked the fees each one charges?

    Which of your investment choices is the one you would be happiest with long term?

    There is nothing wrong per se with having two pensions, but consolidating can be a sensible option.

    The fact that one has more money in it than the other is irrelevant in terms of which one to consolidate into.

    You consolidate ( or not) in the one that you think is best for you based on, 

    Fees
    Ease of use /good website
