Or maybe the 70" if my set up will handle it.

Motor is a http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idproduct=4907
Speed Control is a http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idproduct=3727
What are my realistic options here?
Thanks!
Agreed with Mark B,
IMO for 3D you want at least a 2:1 thrust ratio, If you're used to flying your foamy your probably used to having a 3:1. The motor puts out a MAX of 10 pounds of thrust using 6-cell (4600g to pounds). which fits the 60" Edge perfectly.
Hobbyking's page says "Use this motor with 4-6 cell Li-Poly packs and 11-12 inch props on planes up to 8 lbs flying weight." So the 9-10 pound 70" Extra is out.
This motor may be better suited for the 70" Extra,

Or this one for Ballistic Performance

The first one will work with the motor/esc, the second one no way.
