I'm quite new at this , but your recipe doesn't look like an American IPA with 12lbs of Maris otter. Doesn't that make it more UKish? I'm sure it will taste fine, but doesn't fit the criteria you picked.
 
It looks like it will be a good beer, I think the 1lb of crystal will balance well with your ibu's. It was a bit hard to read, next time maybe type it out.
 
Three comments.

In Beersmith, if you go to your list if recipes, there's a text listing of the selected recipe at the bottom. Cut and paste that instead of posting the pic.

As for the recipe, I'm not sure 8oz of Vienna is going to hold its head up, might consider swapping some base.

You're ibu:OG is less than unity. Even though your ibu's are at the upper end for the style, that ratio is about middle of the road for an IPA.
 
How bout replacing the maris with 10lbs of american 2 row and bumping the vienna to a lb?
 
Quese, I would say your grain bill is fine, just mash 148-150 for a good dry finish and for the hops I would lower the initial IBU add to like 20 and bomb some more at the end, like an extra ounce on your whirlpool for sure then a 3oz+ dry hop for sure.
