Default Engine for 1/3 scale Lanier Laser?

I have a 1/3 scale Lanier Laser that I've been flying for a few years with a G62. I'd like to pep it up a little bit with a bigger engine, and was considering a Brison 4.2. I'm looking to do some 3D with it, so I'd like to bump the horsepower up a few notches. Is the 4.2 going to be big enough to make enough difference to make it worth the swap?

You could try getting rid of the stock ignition and replace it with a electronic unit. You won't lose much weight......but it will start easier, idle smoother, and it should even pick up a few hundred RPM's. A friend of mine just did that to his, it didn't make the power ballistic, but it does have unlimited verticle now. It also only costs arount $100. Just an idea,
