Alot of people run them. The only problems I have seen when running them is interferance on cheap microphones. They will in effect bleed over the microphone. I heard that the Astatic Mobile Max doesn't do well with power either.
Other than that sounds like what you have going will work great.

R.F.Parts tests their pills at 50to60% power and rate the 2sc2879 at 120 watts out with 7 watts in am/fm at 30MHz,typicaly 50% more on cw/ssb 120*8=960+50%=1440.check rf parts catalogue.
