I should have asked another question whats your goal? Cruiser or racer?

If it were me or your an inland cruiser I would go with the 150 first and learn to keep that up in some fresh winds and also how to pole it out wing on wing before spending money on a kite.

A 150 is going to add a lot more drive then the 110 currently gives you and if you have a robust furling system and add some foam to the luff so it furls in a decent shape you can reef it fairly well too...well beyond your curent 110 and still have an efective sail shape.
If your racing..dont have a reefing furler or sail off shore then I would get the asym. first.
