Would anyone advise against this union? I'm getting a 220g and my silver is only about 5" so I was thinking of getting a black about the same size and see what happens.

I have heard and seen it work before. I suggest you try 3, 2 black or 2 silver and 1 of either. 2 make it more territorial and 3 is evenly odd out the arow. Either way it should work.
I tried to put a 15" silver and a 11" black together, it lasted about 3 hours. The silver was much to aggressive for the smaller black. I hope to try again in a couple years, my plans are for my 2 silvers and black to all share a 8' x 4' x 30" tank.
I used to have a frend who had a 15" silver with a 15" Black and the silver killed the black after 2 months.
Here is mine 
My Black 12-14" Kicked the crap out of My silver for 2 weeks and would have killed the silver had i not figured out the magic key of less aggression...
My silver was 22" when introduced to the tank with the black being 12-14"
The silver is healed up nicely don't you think
This is a few weeks or a month ago
This is a week or two ago
Black and silver same water space
My Black is still nippy sometimes to the Much Larger Silver.. But no real aggression for a while
