That's an expensive brew!
Personally (and I'm sure you've already committed to this recipe) I'd lower the carapils to 4oz. 12 oz is overkill. I'd consider adding white or red wheat. I'd also think about flameout hop additions and I like to focus on certain hops on the nose. You're throwing the kitchen sink at it (which will give you a hop bomb) but you won't get a specific aroma to cut with this recipe. It'll be all hops all the time. For example, I'll use 1 oz mosaic with 2 oz centennial for like an orange/blueberry combination and try to accentuate and compliment it. None of the hops you're putting in are contradictory, but you won't get to know Columbus or Ahtanum like you would if you focused the flavors.
Other advice is just to try it. We're all strangers with different taste buds and you'll never know if you like it until you try it.
