If you reference those good sounding records often while mixing your stuff, it will probably be. We must compensate for our monitoring response, anyway...

On the opposite, the fact that good recordings sound good in a given room, it doesn't mean you will be able to hear in a clear way all those subtle things which make those recordings great (reverb tails and that kind of things) and they will be hard to replicate by you in your own mixes.

If you have a nice sounding room, I'd say start mixing and see what you get. Then adjust from there.
