Default Buffer?

I have been looking all around for a buffer. Baldor buffers are great but pricey. I am trying to get the most bang for my buck and found this buffer by JET. It comes in two speeds 1725 and 3425. The buffer is 1hp comes with the stand and can be wired 110 or 220. My question for you all is which speed? I can run a 14 inch buffer at 1725rpm for 6000 SFPM or 8 inch at 3425 rpm for almost 7000 SFPM. Is there any benefit to running a larger buffer a bit slower at all and what is the largest size buffer you should run on 1hp. The buffer has plenty of room to stack buffs but have seen recommendations for 3/4 hp not to exceed 7/8 inch. Anyone? I need to make a decision soon and get my buffer on the way to me.
