OK...I'll admit...I'm biased because I REALLY REALLY REALLY like the look of a regulation doublet...reminds me of my Army Mess jacket...and I'm not particularly fond of the jabot look personally....so I'll stick with a bowtie.
I wear my Regulation Doublet with white tie, and have never hesitated to wear it for black tie (especially if the invitation says "decorations"), and have worn it with coloured waistcoats as a bit of whimsy to other events. I've also seen it worn with a bib (seven button waistcoat) and jabot and it didn't look at all bad.

I'd say go for it.
