Yeah kinda just depends on what your use for it is for sure. Just throwing out ideas for ya. Course I do have 2 kids a wife and a mom and dad that use mine so hence why its bigger. If you went with the bigger platform you could always make your gangway shorter also to compensate for the bigger deck area.... The shorter that gangway is the more stable it will be also I think.
Keep us posted man,
P.S.
And yes them dang brackets are not cheep!!! I can testify to that for sure! I have 540 bucks wrapped up in brackets alone on this dock.
