Most big mercury dealers have loners or will let you try a prop.
For handling and utility absolutely try the 4-blade first. Drop 2-3 inches of pitch from current 3-blade. For the Opti I suggest the Rev4. You may still have to drop the motor one hole, but I'd try the 4-blade with it's increased stern-lift first.
