Default thoughts on design

I am curently working on a profile build. My second design and i have some questions. A lot of the guys over in the profile section told me to get a wing area of at least 1200 sq in. in order to do this in the wing it would have to have been to big for the look i am after. So i thought I would just over size the airlones and stab,elev to meet this requierment. all together with wing and stab,elev. i have 1530 sq in. of area. the wing is 60 inches long 13 inches wide, the air. are 4 inches wide and 30 inches long. the stab is 30x17 including elev. My question is do you include the stab in the area and what does the size effect how the plane flies? Is this a good way to get the targeted wing loading with out increasing the wing. thanks,mike
