Ditto on what Doug said about stock removal. Unless you get to be amazingly good at forging you will still be doing a good bit of stock removal.

Aside from that, the old rule of thumb on anvil sizes is that the minimum size for an anvil is 40 times the weight of the heaviest hammer you plan to use. My anvil was 500 pounds; you can't really have too much anvil ....
