Personally, ignoring all the advice to go for "perfect weighting", is that you need the wing size that you need at this time. Yes it might be what some people consider oversized but at the end of the day who cares what other people think?

As @Jim Lapenta says, how quickly are people finning to find a difference in drag from a few additional inches of material?

I dive the same wing whether diving with a drysuit or with a 3 mm wetsuit. Never had any issues and never thought that "I have too much buoyancy in this wing".
