Kite Choice

Hey Group!

My apologies for being redundant about questions regarding which kite to purchase. I'm all set to buy, and considering my location, Ozone is it for choices. I'm about 170-175 lbs. I'm landboarding. Winds are roughly 10mph here - sometimes more sometimes less. I am very new at kiting - my only kite is a 4m Ozone Flow. Here are the kites I am trying to decide on:
1. Frenzy 9m
2. Frenzy 11m
3. Access 8m
4. Access 10m

Other than a couple times 5 years ago in the Philippines, I have not used depower kites. Considering all above, any recommendations on which of those kites would be good for me to learn on? I am also looking to get an additional kite in a month or two so with the 3 kites (my Flow and the 2 I will choose) I will have the wind pretty well covered. I was thinking perhaps the 8m Access for now and the 11m Frenzy in a month or so? It's a bit of fun this kiting, but it can be a bit overwhelming as well. I really appreciate your input! Thanks in advance!
