No need. Even when a low cost operator opens up a base it is unlikely to be more than 4-5 aircraft for the first couple of years. SOU could accommodate 5 larger aircraft currently.
Also, just a general comment when researching something you should always first check the primary source, i.e. SOUs own website. The masterplan (link below) clearly shows where SOU plan to accommodate larger aircraft going forward. It amazes me that rather than use the internet to carry out their own research people subscribe to the ramblings of TCAS FAN who evidently has not worked at the airport for many years so is out of touch with what is planned.
