Drive 2 displays with a single 4511 chip?

I need to drive two 7-segment displays that will display the same information. Each segment will use 10mA and the 4511 chip is able to source 25mA. I'm planning on connecting both displays to the single chip, each display having it's own set of limiting resistors.

Is there any reason I shouldn't do it this way? Should each display be ran off it's own 4511 driver?

It will work fine. Make sure you have enough supply voltage for the voltage drop of the 4511's output with a 20mA load.
