I have a very small storm sail for my Monty. The problem that I encountered with it that the center of effort was moved so far forward with it and the main double reefed that I had a neutral or lee helm (winds were 24-26 knots). I have since had my old jib cut down to about 65% of its original size by having 22" cut off the foot (more like 21 1/2 +/-" at luff and 22" at leach). With this smaller jib I don't get the excessive heeling, but also keep the center of effort is a little farther back so the helm feels better.
