Yes, the 155 will backwind the main a bit more, but the overall effect is still very positive. I will run the traveler a little higher in light air to minimize back winding. As the breeze picks up, the bubble isn’t as pronounced.

I generally trim the main by looking at the leech. and position of the boom. Maybe Jake can chime in - it was his sail on my boat for Bermuda.
