Well I would look at it this way. Are you an avid user of the kitchen, do you intend to have a dining area within. Is entertaining a big part of your life. Or does the house suggest an open plan arrangement.. If there is a large living room and all the rooms are sizeable then it would suggest that you use the space accordingly..
However if you have to knock walls through in order to extend the floor area to gain a large kitchen then that's slightly different as you may well be losing in other respects. Perhaps it might be a good idea to look at the square footage of the floor in question and what you need out of it. If the ratio of kitchen vs living room is disproportionate in favour of kitchen then I would personally want a larger living area..
It is entirely possible to have dining in living and separate kitchen.. So work out where you want to do the eating.. If there are not separate rooms for each, as this may help you to decide.. Look at the flow of the house/apartment too.... : ))
