I would not risk this connection on separate tickets, especially to a destination with only one flight on most days (and if you are on one of the two-flight-days, go for the later flight at 14.20!)
In the end my connection was no problem at all.
The United flight arrived early, the connection by train between the terminals was very rapid, and with our EU passports we could use the automatic gates which had no lines. (Even for non-EU passports the line was very short.) Also, no additional security to go through.
