I would stick to the 60" that way it gives you the opportunity to add more design elements to the room, such as plants or corner shelving without making the space too cramped.

What size is the current table? It seems there would be no leg/elbow room if two more chairs were added. I have a 40" x 60" table in my kitchen. It can fit six chairs w/o the leaf, but it's tight.

You might be able to use the larger table if you place it on the diagonal. That will help break up the squareness of the room's features. Then drop your chandy to around 30" above the table. tape out your rug and table size with painter's tape to get a visual on the arrangement.
