How Stout do you like your stout? That is a LOT of chocolate malt. I think it will overwhelm everything else. I would cut it back to like 4oz.

I think your solid right where you are other than the chocolate malt, i would lower that to 8oz. and i would use Crystal 60 and Fuggle and Goldings hops and 1056 yeast.
