Default RE: wing loading too high?

My newest twin with 2 OS .46Ax's and a 51 inch span has a wing loading of 31oz/sq ft. You can definitely notice the higher sink rate on final unless you keep a little power on. Landings are a bit fast and I would not recommend a plane this heavy to a novice. 672 squares, 9 pounds.
