I've dry hopped with Cascade hops before, but I'm looking for something a little different. Not saying I'm bored with Cascades, but......

Here is my Recipe and hop schedule:
5.5 gallon batch
ProMash
OG: 1.052
IBU's: 35.0
SRM: 11.1


9.5# 2 Row Pale
1.0 # Crystal 60L
1.0 # Victory Malt

Mashed @149 x60 mins

.55oz Magnum (14.1%) x30 mins
.25oz Cascade (5%) x 15 min + every minute after.
.50oz Cascade (5%) at flame out.

Safale S-05 (American Ale)


Thinking of Dry Hopping x1 week with:

.50 oz Cascade
.50 oz Citra
.50 oz Simcoe

I was wondering if that is too much going on in the dry hop mix - should I 1/2 the citra and simcoe or eliminate the Cascade altogether?? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
 
Maybe dry hop with some US Perle? It's a US grown German hop that lends a smooth spice. Might go good against the citrus,etc between the Magnum & Cascade.
