Kind regards,

I like to mix it up and train with many different sticks.

Actually, I think this difference in size would be beneficial. It is doubtful you would ever be able to pick up two objects to fight with that would be identical in all dimensions. This would help you to be more rounded in all aspects of impact weapon fighting. Just me 2 cents worth.

These guys beat me to it. FMA is about realism and versatility.
