[Elecraft] Heil ProSet headphones with K2 on SSB... enough mic gain?

Folks:

I've just completed building a new (#6098) K2 for a friend who will 
use it on SSB.

He intends to use the Heil Proset headset (and mic) with the K2.

I recall that my (VERY EARLY vintage!!) K2 was a bit short on mic 
gain when not used with a mic which included a preamp, and that I had 
to make a couple mods to my KSB2 in order to obtain adequate SSB output.

Those you you who have relatively new K2s, say s/n 5000 and up, is 
anyone using the Heil Proset Headphone/boom mic combo on SSB? And do 
you have adequate mic gain, or did you have to mod the KSB2 to increase drive?

THanks for any responses.

K2 #8... (well, I said it was 'vintage').
