The real question is: Without trim tabs is the attitude (degree of bow up) the most efficient, ie is your speed as high as it is going to get at your cruising rpm.

For many boats it is not and trim tabs drop the bow allowing for a more efficient attitude and slightly more speed.

And in general if you need them, you probably need as much area as can be easily installed on your boat.
