Would low AA hops work NE IPA style?

Start with low boil bittering - say 20-30IBU from high AA Magnum/Warrior, then a NE IPA style whirlpool with low AA hops like Tettnang, Hallertau Mittlefruh, Spalt, Saaz, Styrian Goldings, etc... dry hop charge on day 2-3... 1318 yeast sounds good, probably no honey malt, and low to no crystal...

I know some of these can be grassy (i.e. Saaz) but anyone try this?
 
I have not, but would be interested in the results.
 
I have tried Saaz for dry hopping and did not like the results.

There are many other low AA hops which will better suit the style.
