Default Staudacher Biplane

Just throwing around some ideas here... I have a Lanier Staudacher kit that I am going to be building this winter and was wondering if I could make it into a good flying biplane. My thought was to buy two set of wings from a 1/4 scale arf cap, extra, or edge and use those instead of the single wing for the Staudacher.

My goal is to make an aerobatic biplane like the ultimate. So far I have enjoyed doing 3D with my smaller biplanes than with the smaller edges, caps and extras. I figure with two 80" wings, the total square inches would be about 2000-2400 instead of the roughly 1650 of the original staudacher wing. I know it would be easier to buy an ultimate, but I already have the staudacher kit.

So what wing set do you think would make the best performer?
