Wingsurfing, Windfoiling, Wingfoiling, Wing SUP / Fone Sk8 vs SS

Enjoy the ease of use and performance of the Fone Seven Seas Foils. Smallest foil for SS is 1000 but would like one smaller for heavier winds. Sk8 has a similar aspect ratio and comes in sizes less than 1000. Knowing that there is more to foil performance than area and aspect ratio, can anyone make an educated guess as to how the performance of a foil with a Seven Seas design with the same area would differ from the smaller Sk8 sizes, say an 850. Assume the stabilizers and fuselage lengths are the same.

Any suggestions, other than Kahului Harbor, for wing foiling on Maui in the Winter, where punishing shore break, shallow reefs and bigger swell can be avoided?

Trying to decide on which Armstrong fuselage to get with an 85 cm mast and 1250 and 1850 foil wings. Will be used for wing foiling; I am 75kg/165lbs. Real Watersport video made in April says 60cm is best all around  and 70cm is real stable, more efficient with great glide with most other brands using around 70cm.
Looking for perspective on differences in
stability
turning/tacking/gybing
glide
pumping
any other insights i.e.. compatibility with real wing.
Thank you in advance for insights.
