Everyone has great points, but so far I haven't seen this argument for a bigger boat. If you are planning on soloing, sailing with your partner and maybe a couple of friends then I would get the smaller boat. If you are planning on adding children into the mix in the next couple of years, then the extra expenses and hassles associated with those extra few feet might be worth it.

Moorage, maintenence, everything is priced by the foot but the difference you will save in these costs would be eaten up if you have to upgrade to larger boat in the next couple of years.

I'm not certain if this is even a consideration for you, but its worth a mention.
