Can Micron N25Q memory be used in place of an EPCS part?

We have been using Micron's M25P16 in place of the EPCS16 for years now since all of our designs are commercial rated. However, I now have a project in which I would like to store a few MB of data, and it seems like the easiest way would be to share room in the config prom. The EPCS128 would be big enough, but at $55/part, a bit out of the budget. 

 

I found the N25Q128A, which seems to be nearly identical outside of a few sectors marked as bootloader sectors, in a Micron document which purports that the N25Q series is Altera compatible, but I was curious to know if anyone had tried it. The target device is a Cyclone IV. 

 

Thanks!

Just can tell that N25P64 and N25Q256 are working fine as AS configuration flash.
