I had to look these up as well. I wasn't familiar with the machine. They also utilize one of the new Rottler honing bays. They were pretty proud of that piece of machinery.

I think it's on the edge. I don't have a heavy car and I've got enough stall that it may not be an issue. But I'm talking to a number of different people and taking opinions anywhere I can get them. Something in the "old faithful" size, or very slightly larger may be a better suited choice given the estimated compression ratio.
