thanks everyone....I agree I would like to stay with the biggest reserve I can which is my smart 160 that keeps the WL at 1.13 for me.

Thanks, I didn't feel I had a problem however when I thought about it the question came to mind. Is there a rule? I have survived 25,000 hrs of flight time by learning from the mistakes of others, no sense stopping now.

Is there any hard rule to the relationship between main and reserve sizing: ie 160 main 160 reserve. I am down sizing from a 160 main to a 149 main and have a 160 smart reserve. any and all comments thanks.
