Default Funtana90/Saito100

I just went to the LHS and picked up a funtana 90 and a Saito 100. With my pockets a lot lighter and big smile on my face I was pretty confident I had a good package for 3D flying. But after a couple hours cruising around on this site(I just joined), I've noticed people are flying this plane with engines outside(some way outside) of the recommended sizes. I know, it can be done with no harm to the plane with good throttle management, etc, that's not what I'm worried about. What I want to know is, will the 100 be enough? Will it have enough climbout? Will it hover with enough reserve power? Or should I take the engine back and go with something else. I'd really rather not spend a whole lot more money seeing as the saito 100 is salty enough as it is. I would appreciate some insight on this. Thanks.
