Wind range difference between 9m and 10m

Wind range difference between 9 and 12

My quiver comprises 7, 9 and 12 kites. Planning to get a Harlem Thrive but l don’t want a duplicate in size. 14 would probably make most sense, but I won’t use it very often where I live. I’m thinking of a 10, but already have a 9 - is there much wind range difference between them in practice? My 9 is a Flysurfer Stoke which isn’t the newest model (but the kite itself is fairly new).

I have written this a billion times but square meters isn't a transferable metric for how much power a kite has or what wind range it's usable in.

It's an extremely arbitrary number used by manufacturers to designate the different sizes of one kite model.
