Acer potting soil

Hi I am new to gardening and have bought myself an Acer Beni Maiko tree. I repotted it when I got home. I have been reading that they prefer slightly acidic soil. I have potted it in Westlands tree and shrub compost. This was a week ago. Should I repot it again in a more acidic compost or should I leave it in the pot it is in? (as I don't want to distress it too much having only recently repotting it the first time) Any information would be great. Cheers.

    I've just checked the datasheet for the Westland compost you mention and it is pH
    5.5-6.0 so should be just fine. :)

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
