That's one thing I was worried about. Alas I've nowhere to beg, borrow or steal from, so it will have to be buy - would these do or should I stretch the overstretched tool budget a bit more and get a proper-er set?

If you are worried, a patch of masking tape on the disk gives more protection. Dennis.
Masking tape, check. I've already gone through stacks of the stuff to protect the textures and hold onto the pieces while sanding down the back sides. I think it's my favourite tool.
