This has been covered any number of times and is archived.
In a few words: Handbook obsession with a Q of 12 is meaningless. If you
notice the circuits used by many manufacturers over the years they all use
the same components across several models.
With the low output C of the 8877's there wont even be problems getting
enough Tune C at 10M to give good efficiency.
