Default coil resistance question...

I've got an 07 Nightster. In the service manual it says the coil resistance is between 0.3 ohm and 0.7 ohm. I'd like to change my coils and found a set of dynatek with a rating of 0.7 ohm. This is the only set I found that will bolt DIRECTLY to the bracket I want to install.

My question: Is there any harm in using this new set of coils since the resistance is at the higher end of the spectrum? It's within the range, but since I am not an expert in this area I just want to make sure that I am not going to have any output losses (less than stock). The new set of coils is said to produce over 30,000 volts (if that helps figure anything out).

Thanks in advance!
