Buy a 2x6 and stand it on a couple of blocks that distance apart to see the deflection unloaded and see how comfortable you feel having it above your head. I'd agree with this. You don't really need to worry about load. What is the long dimension of the pergola? If you ran a double 2x8 or 10 beam that way (basically along the line that says 'right plane') it would break the span of your rafters a bit. I'm not sure if pressure treated/exterior LVLs are a thing or not, but that would be an option too. I like your patio-what kind of stone or w/e is it edged with? It looks very clean and nice.
