which whacker

I have an existing sub base that needs to have added MOT 1 in places to achieve the correct level. This will need to be compacted. I will then use the plate to compact the bedding layer and blocks
The local 'Speedy Hire' has three suitable plates for hire.
1. Narrow 12" force 9KN.
2. Narrow 14" force 11 KN.
3. Medium powered (PVP 75/45 ??) = force 15 kn.
Do you think the 9kn and 11 kn force is sufficient or should I go for the heavier model.

The PVP is the best, by a long way. Although the smaller Vib Plates would do a reasonable job, they don't have the same 'wumph' as the PVP plate (which, incidentally, we used on most of our residential paving jobs)
