Wyeast 3711 - French Saison

Thinking the pale base blend of Pils, Vienna, and Munich will make a complex malt backbone complimented with the Aromatic which should stand out in such a mild base but not be overwhelming and obvious. The Turbinado Sugar should help thin the body and add another layer of flavor complexity.

I've actually never done a complex hop schedule. This will be my most complex yet. How does the hop schedule look? Two ounces in noble flavor and aroma seemed appropriate for a Saison. Thoughts on that? I have a pound of each so variety is not changing.
 
Looks solid, should be tasty, similar to a recipe I've brewed a couple times, I use Candi though.
