Replacing RD-5500 with RD-7700

I'm currently using a Shimano 105 RD-5500 with my 10-speed setup. A friend is upgrading his bike to a 10-speed as well, and is offering to sell me his Dura-Ace RD-7700 for pretty cheap. Being that my derailleur is pretty beat up, and I'm a sucker for a deal, I'd like to upgrade. Are there any compatibility issues I should be aware of?

The rest of the drivetrain (in case it matters)...
Shifters: 10-speed Ultegra Triple ST-6603
Cranks: Ultegra Double FC-6500 (Yes, the shifters are a triple, I know)
Cassette: 10-speed Shimano 105
Front Der: Dura-Ace FD-7700
