Nope, they will work fine. I am not sure the oxygen caps are worth it.
I think the oxygen absorbing caps really only have a use for beers you plan on storing long term, like for years. I'm going to use them for the barleywine I'm aging for the next 4 years. But for everything else I just use the elcheepo bulk caps from my lhbs.

They're only like $0.60 cents extra per pound, so I use them.
