Theres a lot going on, and some duplication of flavors there. Okto's are my fav style, and i find that simplicity is the key.

Little else is needed than Pils, Vienna, and Munich, with MAYBE the addition of a single caramel malt.

I'd go with the pair of LME's (munich and pils), and steep 1# vienna and 1/2 to 1# caravienna.

Also, the WLP820 yeast pales in comparison to their south german lager yeast, IMO.
