Default Safe to use DuBro Soft mounts for my Saito 125 ?

Hello,
I have a Saito 125 mounted to my Javelin 90 pattern-like airplane. Currently it has solid aluminium mount that is directly bolted to the firewall. Though i have had 20 or so flights, i note that there is considerable vibration ( prop is balanced ) . Was wondering if i should try and change the mount to Dubro Soft ounts ( that has those rubber isolators ) .
Did a few searches, and noted that many people were against using Soft mounts specially on 4 strokes. Would it be safe to use these ? I do not want to reduce the life of my engine, but can spare some rpm if i can live with reduced vibration.
Thanks for sharing your views.
