I like the fact that GSP reports the 'actual' wing areas on their models, but that puts them at an advertising disadvantage against most other manufacturers. That is unfortunate.

They don't do that for all of their planes. I have the Katana, which is listed at just under 1000 sq. in. It is only 1000 sq. in. if you include the fuselage area. The Katana is very similar in size to the Extra 300, so what you say makes sense.
I'm surprised that you like the Yak, it has a very bad reputation where I fly. Way to heavy, although it looks nice. I guess it depends on your flying style, to me any Extra, Yak or Katana should be very capable flying 3D, at best these planes are so-so at 3D.
