Would Hallertau be an ok substitute for crystal hops?

It is just a small part of an overpowering dry hop bill that includes simcoe and cenntenial, so I'm not sure how much it will really matter - except that I don't want to buy any crystal hops.
 
crystal has a wonderful, strong aroma. Has the best smell of the hops I've bought. If it's a matter of using what you have on hand, versus buying, then I think I would always prefer to use what I have.
 
Hallertau combined with Simcoe and Centeninal is a waste of Hallertau hops in my mind. Simcoe and Cent are strong flavor and aroma hops where Hallertaus are delicate nobel hops. If you don't want to use Crystal, just use Simcoe and Cents.
