Would a 5x9 table be large enough for 800pt FoG:R 25mm or should I upgrade to 6x9?

deadtorius and I have been using 4'x8' and packed up to 900pts a side on it and enjoyed...personally, i don't like the extra width...but it comes down to whether you like lots of extra space for tally-ho-ing around.
gods know how anyone could reach across 6' of width!!

We did Lutzen in 28mm on a 12 x 6, and needed the space! We have also quitre merrily fought approx 800-1,600 on smaller tables (Part of a campaign so not "pointed" just plenty of troops!),

I think it depends 1 MU = 1 inch = 4x8 is sufficient.
1 MU = 40mm then perhaps you want 5x9.

Of course a 9x5 table is not big enough. But then again 800 point armies are not big enough either.
Go and buy more toy soldiers, then get a bigger table to put them all on.
You know you want to.

But as I said above at the club we have played some quite large 28mm battles on smaller

We've played 800 pts with 40mm MUs on 6x8. It's plenty big.
