Brake Compound Mixing

I want to ask specifically about my set up but want to leave it open for wider discussion, so please, all comments are welcome.

I'm running stock SC brakes on a 2650 lb 911. I have been using PF97 pads and been very happy with the performance and wear. I just picked up a set of front Pagid Black (RS-14) pads cheap, for those of you that watch the parts for sale section you might know how cheap.

I'm thinking of running the front RS-14 pads with the rear PF97 pads. From what I understand, both have very good initial bite but the RS-14 will have more overall braking power. This seems like an acceptable combination, since upsetting the balance on initial braking should be negligible, and the car will remain stable with the more braking bias in the front. I'm unsure about the release characteristics, but from what I've read about the RS-14 and PF97 should be similar.

Thoughts?
