If the other 7.5% is copper, it will perform a bit better than pure copper, a bit worse than pure silver. If there's any tin or zinc in the mix, then it will be worse than copper.

Actually that's probably the main thing to consider. Sterling Silver doesn't offer real advantage over C101 copper for thermal conduction, they are both about the same. May as well do it in copper and make some cutlery out of the Sterling Silver instead.
Go pure or go home.
