PMT for Cy7?

We want to try out APC/Cy7 on our FACStar Plus, some clues
would be helpful from anyone who has used it on a StarPlus
or Vantage.

We have a red HeNe laser that gives 35-40mW.
We have ordered Omega filters 710DRLP and 740EFLP to read
APC and APC/Cy7 in FL4 & FL5.

I believe the standard PMT will probably not be red-sensitive
enough for Cy7.
If it won't work, what PMT should I buy?
Also what's the cheapest source for us in Australia?

What have I missed or forgotten?

Thanks, Joseph.
