Default RE: Engine Selection ... Saito 72 or 82?

I have the saito 82 and love the engine. I am curently looking for a new home for it and have run into issues with prop clearance as you can only go so small. To do the 3d manuevers you will want to run something like a 15x4 which will probably hit the ground. The smallest prop they rec. is a 12x8 which this engine will really swing and be pretty fast flying and landing?
