I am not quite sure of the math but you also might consider a 240V
in VFD drive to convert it to 3 phase. This is recommended many times
as almost a break even choice when replacing large single phase motors
for mills and lathes as a 3 phase motor is enough cheaper that it plus
the cost of the VFD drive is about the same as the single phase motor,
and is has the added advantage of giving you variable speed.
