What size light panel for a 130PDS

[bendiddley]

I want to start taking flats and have decided to go down the light panel route, currently thinking of a huion. I want to use it with me 130PDS and wondering whether to go for an A4 or an A3 size. I know the A4 will be big enough but i'm wondering whether the A3 might give a more a more even light distribution as the telescope will be covered by more of the centre of the panel, however I'm equally not that keen on the price tag of the A3. What do you guys think?

I use the Huion and bought the A3 one to cope with future  scope upgrades - now I am using a big fast newt I am glad I did!

One tip - leave it switched on for at least 5 mins before taking flats - the illumination isnt completely even until its been on for a while.
