Tung-Sol 5881's in a Tweed Deluxe?

Just scored a pretty nice tweed deluxe clone on Ebay with an original 1960 Jensen P12N. Really honks, but I was told by the seller that Tung-Sol 5881's would really sound good and provide a bit more clean headroom (the OT is a slightly oversized Mercury Magnetics). Opinions and a source for quality NOS or used tubes appreciated. Thanks!

Should be great if the power trans can handle the additional filament current.
