I'm not a really big fan of up sizing just for the sake of it. Never loose the prospect that you'll have to land your model at some point. Coming in the flare 30% faster is a good recipe for bounced landing, high energy impact and premature airframe/ gear wear.
I'm sure you've seen that in your flight carrier before...
This is all discussed here:

Thanks Oli, you seal the deal...
As I mentioned in my last post, lowering the wing load, specially in that model will be great, and that's before considering the idle thrust and fuel consumption.
BTW, I see in your profile pic the A4, here's my friend's little A4. very old model, but new for him (second hand, first flight):

I'm the camera guy, as always, no one filming me...
