Harvesting Bell Peppers?

You can pick them when they are green or wait until they turn red. They are supposed to be sweeter when red, but you have to leave them on the vine quite a while for that to happen, which means you will get less peppers unless you pick them when green.

I want to make sure the green peppers have grown as large as they are going to grow, so as soon as I see a patch of red on them, that is when I pick them.
