So i suppose you could design a trade-off or balance. Increase AR while reducing the size of the mangus effect airfans.

Well ideally we wouldn't lose power to begin with but yes. The PW is essentially a powered wing to begin with, so losing power leaves you with just a wing. The real design benefit here is that with the powered wing, you can make the win extra thick. And I can tell you, that internal space is huge. Plenty of room for any kind of payload.
