I think the WLP 830 strain worked really well in balancing the amount of Munich malt in this beer. I was very pleased with my results. Next time around I may try this with some Crystal Hops in the Kettle.
Northern Brewer calls the Weyerman Carafa III de-husked...which is what I originally used.

Reason: splitting hairs and making corrections.
Aside from the addition of the wheat, I think this recipe is very true to the style. I prefer to keep the Munich just over 50% on this one.
Some brewers have even been known to add roasted barley to the grist.
Which Crystal is recommended for this recipe? I may brew this one soon.
You could get away with anything in the 20L-90L on this one. Your just looking to add some sweetness. You'll get most of the color from the Carafa special III de-husked.
