Guess that means you're happy with the bigger Ellison. Any idea of fuel consumption?

Adding 205 pounds and making a fairly good C.G. change in the process will make your KR fly VERY differently. I will spare you the gory details, but I have the scars and burned remains of a KR to prove that adding another 20 pounds of passenger more than carried before can make a huge difference in controllability. You really need to increase the weight and change the C.G. location in small incriments. That will give you the ability to see how the plane handles in small steps and when it is starting to get the the limit that you don't want to go any further with. You can disagree with me, but this is something that I know and I learned the hard way.
