Has anyone ever suggested that having such a blade for a sub 200kg machine is a good idea?
Perhaps some light reading from Mr Van Huskey might be in order, to heed fair warning!

Not sure if you might find folks running carbide tipped blades successfully, under anything but optimal tension for these blades?
Just saying, should you have chance on changing that blade yet.
If you have change left over, should it be proven possible to get a carbide tipped blade to 25000 PSI with something of lesser width on that saw,
as these are thinner gauge to most CT blades, IIRC?...
Guessing 1" may be the minimum, if not possibly 3/4"? ....
then a regular half inch blade would be excellent for any possible troubleshooting beforehand, should your machine arrive without a blade,
that can happen.
There would be nothing worse than damaging a carbide blade in an instant, and I wouldn't use one until I got it running nicely with a wideish regular blade prior.
Also might be worth asking in writing, if installing such a blade might void your warranty!
And another PS, buy a metal detector wand for yourself, as if you're going to do some test cutting,
then you will likely have an auld box o'scraps "handy" and the one with the nail will be the one your bandsaw will find!
Good luck
