Confusion over foil wing sizing

I have a question regarding my front wing size. I have been
wingfoiling for about a year now, I started on a Gong Allvator
XL and a gong SUP board and progressed pretty well. As I'm only
70kg, I've been able to get going consistently in about 10-11
knots on the same foil with a 55l board and an Ensis 4.5m wing.
I'm looking to upgrade my foil and want to go a little smaller
to get more maneuverability but keep getting confused, and then
subsequently change my mind with what I should be getting. My
foil has 1844cm sq projected area and next sizes down seem to be
anything from 1250-1500cm sq. To me that seems a little small,
and although I know that as you progress you get better at
engaging smaller foils, I don't really want to lose my 10 knot
foiling ability.
So I'm just wondering what size should I be getting?
Many thanks
Matthew
