I totally get wanting a ring that you'll be comfortable wearing where you live. I mostly see a carat around here among people I am around and sometimes two carats. It's because most people married young and have never heard the word "upgrading"! Three carats with a halo would be huge and probably considered ostentatious here. I would not pressure someone to go larger than their comfort zone. Your ring will be gorgeous and huge if it is 3 carats with a VC halo. My finger size is almost the same as yours.
I'd like to see the 3.2 ct stone Victor has in mind, and I'd consider that maybe the first choice assuming I love the cut since you want at least that size. F VS1 would be fabulous.
The WF 3.05 is 9.35mm, so with a halo it would be somewhere around 13mm, and I'll show you that on a 5.75 finger. Looks substantial to me! (ignore stone depth)
