A Max Jitter of 26 is not that bad. The average jitter is what is important.
I have used 7960s to talk of the internet for hours with no QOS and the max jitter will get into the 800s and 900s and I still can't hear the jitter. It will only introduce latencty while the phone is compensating for both the jitter and packet loss.
Read the QOS design guide that is available on CCO if you have not done so.
