This is probably more correct.

get_class($view->display_handler) == 'views_plugin_display_page'

More generically, there's also:
$view->display_handler->has_path() -- that gets more than just 'page'
displays, it gets 'feed' displays as well. But this could be valuable if
using something like calendar's custom page displays which aren't
specifically page displays, but act like them nonetheless.
