Curious if I will have problems trying to run a 7.5HP Kaeser screw with my 15hp RPC?

I'm looking at purchasing a Kaeser screw compressor. My current compressor is an 80 gal 5hp 1ph Champion. I've read about issues with starting a compressor without a quite oversized RPC. My main concern is I run my Fadal off of the RPC, so the compressor and mill would be running on the same RPC. I just don't want think I'm upgrading and just cause myself undue grief. If I could have my choice, I'd buy a single phase 5hp Kaeser, but I may have a line on a 7.5 3ph machine for the right price. Just want to make sure I don't make an expensive mistake. I have a really small shop and the Kaeser would allow me to save space by combining the compressor and dryer into one unit as well being quite a bit quieter, which is my main interest.
