Basically same here. .25/.50, we cap at $100 (200 BB) to give some deep stack flavor without going nuts. About 2/3 of players buy in for max. One night, we were playing .50/1, initial BI $200 but match the stack, the whale busts, rebuys, doubles up, the host matches, well hell then I'm gonna too, and before anyone had even finished their first beer our generally friendly game had more money on the table than the 1/2 at the casino. We've never gone back to match the stack.
One evening I had a couple new players at my house, one busts and is getting pissy he can't match the big stack. I didn't really like him anyway, wrong vibe, so I simply raised my eyebrows and said something along the lines of, "200BB buy in is deeper than the casino. If this game is too small for you, we're not the game you're looking for." But I really wanted to say something like, "If you want more chips, don't make such a stupid bluff," but for once I held my tongue. Not really cuz I'm a nice guy, mostly cuz I like people to make stupid bluffs.
Another time, I had a guy who hosts bigger games come to my wee game, and he shoved blind very first hand, and it was clear within a few minutes he was going to use his relative wealth to bully the table. I politely let him know that's not the vibe we're going for, and he backed off and played a very LAGgy but still within reason level of poker. It really all depends on what you want to get out of your game, and then taking friendly steps to get there.
