Default Advantages of an airfoiled stab?

I am currently working on mating two planes together and I the original plane had a flat horizontal stab. The elevator we will be using is airfoiled and i am wondering what the advantages/disadvantages are. Will it change where the cg needs to be? Incidence of the stab? It is a fully symetrical airfoil on the stab. In case this matters it will be going on a 60" 3d profile
