Winesburg Ale

I brewed a batch of Christmas Ale last night. It was an extract ingredient package from the local homebrew shop that was well-recommended by fellow brewers. The fermentables included 7 pounds of malt extract and one pound of honey. I've made a number of brews from this store's kits and had good results. However, I discovered after opening the package that they had changed their dry ale yeast from Nottingham to Munton's. I have read that Munton's recommends not using their standard yeast on all-malt brews because it doesn't attenuate the complex sugars well. I would think that this batch would qualify as all-malt, despite the presence of the honey. Do you think I've got a potential problem here? Could I let the fermentation wind down with the Muntons and then pitch some Nottingham?
