Getting SLE kites, which sizes to get?

Sorry if something like this has been posted before, but I used the search and couldn't find anything. I'm a somewhat newbie to kiting looking to change out my old c-kites for some sle/bow kites. Im a student and thus somewhat limited on money so I kind of wanted to limit myself to two kites.

I was looking at the best waroos (used) and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on 2 different sizes that would give me a decent wind range to fly in? I am about 170 lbs and have a 135 cm board. I was thinking maybe like a 9m and then a bigger one (should i go for like a 13m or bigger like a 17m?). I am just a little unfamiliar with how the wind ranges of these kites compare to c-kites... (im looking at waroos from '06-'08)

I've got a 7, 12, and 16. All 06 Waroos. The 12 gets used the most. Are you at the University of Utah?
