Irish Red Critique...

[Blueflint]

Working on a 5.2 gallon Irish Red recipe...partial grain, 3 gallon boil.

4# Light LME
3# Maris Otter
8 oz. Weyermann Carared
8 oz. Briess Caramel 40L
4 oz. Weyermann Melanoidin Malt
2 oz. Briess Roasted Barley

1 oz. East Kent Goldings 5.6AA @ 60 minutes

Irish Ale 1084 yeast

Estimated OG 1.047
Estimated IBU 24

Any thoughts? I added the Melanoidin malt to increase "malt" flavor or intensity. Maybe add 2 more ounces of Roasted Barley or add 2 ounces of Chocolate 350L?

I kind of like Special B in amber/red ales, though that's more of a matter of preference.

I thought about using a little special B or caramel 120L. That might be a nice addition. I don't want to muddy up the flavors and am worried about adding anything else though, thus the reason for posting here. Any other thoughts? Thanks.
