In this case we have *17* tabs. That would mean a lot of scrolling with your
mockup. I'm sure power users would complain very soon. If anything, I would
keep the small tab size and add icons left to the text, like:

[icon] label
[icon] label
...

This is ok as long as there is one or two tabs that cannot be shown by default,
but I wouldn't do it if half of the tabs need scrolling, this would also
seriously slow down power users.
