I agree that it should work. There is one detail though that, while probably not fatal, may make shifting a little rough between certain cogs. From my experience, there appear to be two different version of Campy cogs. If you look at the gear numbers stamped on each cog, you'll see things like "29-A" or "13-C". Some Campy loose-cog cassettes come with all A-type cogs, and others are C-type, and the ramps don't quite line up. I found this out when I tried to convert a new 13-26 cassette into a 13-29 by reusing the 29 cog from a worn 13-29 and removing the 18T from the new cassette. So if you mix and match, *and* the two cassettes are of different types, you'll probably get rough shifts between the A-type and C-type gears (I never actually tried it in my case, so I can't say how good or bad it actually works).


I'm a big guy so I love the 13-29 on my compact double. Way more useful gear range for me than the 11-28 cassettes on Shimano/SRAM.
