Simarennial IPA

I've been loving the Simcoe-Amarillo combination in my IPAs and just purchased some Centennial to experiment with. Here's the extract recipe I'm considering. Comments appreciated.

Instead of going with an ounce each of the three finishing hops, I'd go with 2 and split the extra between 0 and dry hop. It is hard to overhop a big IPA, especially if you are doing a partial boil.

I might also lower the crystal and add a bit of highly fermentable sugar to ensure it finishes dry. Otherwise looks tasty to me, should be a good hop combo.
