I have 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5 (so basically all sizes between 2 and 5).
I'm much lighter than you (65 kg) and think I could do without the 4.5 and 3.5.

In the small sizes however the difference feels much bigger. I couldn't do without the 2.5.

I started buying the 'in between sizes' when i was demolishing a lot of gear. My reasoning was that if you for example trash your 4.5 and have to wait for a week or so on repairs, you can at least rig a close size and have a good time. And the other benefit of course is that you can always rig the right size. It obviously costs a lot, but usage is spread between more wings, so i guess they'll last longer. Anyway, my advice would be, if you have the means, I'd do it. Especially for smaller sizes (depending on how often you sail high winds maybe).
