Depends on how much you weigh and what winds you like to fly in. Small kites for big winds and big kites for small winds so if you want to fly in all
conditions then "yes" yor are going to need a 2 - 3 meter kite and if yhou want to fly in low winds then you're going to need a 6-8m kite.

And the good news is, that no matter what you have you ALWAYS just need 1 more kite...................

Welcome! It really depends on what your ave wind is like, how much you weigh, and what type of flying you want to do (buggy, board, scud, jump, ...).

The kites you buy will be dictated by what you want to use them for.
My rule of thumb with kites is that a fixed bridle quiver needs a minimum of small medium and large. 4 kites is even better. Extra large for extra low
wind cruising. If you are going FB and have the winds you describe I would buy a larger kite 1st? Sticking with the Blade 6.5 is a logical step up?
With a depower quiver 2 kite minimum. Even then I find use for an extra large fixed bridle for low wind cruising and an extra small non lifty foil for
crazy high winds.
