If by "much larger", you mean "smaller", then you're correct.

You do realize that you posted CSA's and not the metro right? Boston metro is 299B.
This thread is hilarious--first of all due to the use of the word importance and second of all, if any city epitomized the term importance, it would undoubtedly be Washington, DC as it's are nation's capital; thus undoubtedy making it the most important city in the country.

Boston's MSA is 4.5 million (10th). Its CSA is 7.5 million (5th).
Houston's MSA is 5.7 million (6th). Its CSA is 5.8 million (9th).
As a point of reference, people who live in Boston's CSA would be the first to tell you they live in Greater Boston, it's a point of pride, even if it's a different state. I know, I lived in Providence for 5 years. Also the entire CSA is accessible by the MBTA commuter rail, which ties the area even further to the core of Boston.
It's pretty obvious there isn't much of a difference between Houston's MSA and CSA. So even if you were to compare CSA's Boston's would be larger, since it seems to matter.
Forgot to add that you also left off other metro areas in Houston's CSA. The $403B is just the Houston MSA.
I'm pretty sure Houston's CSA = Houston's MSA. It seems many of the sunbelt cities don't have a CSA that is different from their MSA. The reason is most likely because of the massive geographical borders of many sunbelt metros.

Nope. Houston's MSA and CSA are different. Like most areas. Miami is the only major sunbelt metro where what you said is true.

Now I'm not mathmatician but the difference between Houston's MSA and CSA is about 100,000.
So yes they are technically different, but you are emphasizing a difference that in all actuality doesn't matter. It's the difference of a few suburbs.
The difference between Boston's MSA and CSA is about 3 million.
Well those are the stats which have been posted for Houston's CSA.
I think we can at least agree that the economies of these two cities are pretty close to one another.
But it isn't. Those numbers are the exact same as the MSA. The CSA number shoyld be different.
