Default Gas engine vibration

Why do gasoline engines vibrate more than glow engines? That seems to be the general info I hear. Too much vibration is not good for the planes.
Most of the gasoline are 2 cycle and so are lots of large glow engines. Is it because the gasoline engines are just bigger or just a matter of cost that would make the gasoline engines as smooth as 2 cycle engines?
