Default Re-repotting my large Phal - Advice Please

Ok, so the question is, should I re-repot my Phal that I repotted in May?

It has done very well since repotting and the two spikes have continued growing and are forming buds (and side spikes).

This was the first one to be repotted by me which did not then have problems, although others since are also doing well.

BUT...

When I repotted I had great difficulty getting the roots back in the old pot, and I was advised on this thread that I perhaps should have gone up a pot size or two.



Well I now, over a month later, finally have bought some bigger pots. And while this one is doing OK as it is, and while it is developing buds, it looks really packed in there and there are big voids where I could not get any bark in.

SO...

Should I disturb it again and move it to a large pot (proabably keeping the existing medium as it's only a month old)?

Should I leave it in peace at least until it has flowered?
