    Share this info with your installer. See if he can give you a reason for going with the size he recommended. Internet can be a wicked tool. Your installer has seen your house and probably has a better idea of what you need. If the installer has been in business for any amount of time, he has most likely installed many systems such as yours. I would trust him(if he is reputable) above online advice.
