Yeast for Leffe Blonde clone

[faustmeister]

Posted recipes differ on this.
FYI, the folks at Wyeast recommend 3787.

Are you asking a question? Or making a statement?

In my leffe clone I used Abbey Ale (White Labs #WLP530). Mine came out tasting pretty dead on to the original.

I am reporting the advice I just got from Wyeast. They recommend their 3787 for Leffe Blonde clones.
I have not yet tried it but will soon.

Contradiction: I reported that Wyeast recommends their 3787 for Leffe Blond clones. That was from an email reply from the company to my request for to their recommendation.
BUT: In looking at their website, www.wyeastlab.com, the description of their 1762 (Belgian Abbey II) fits Leffe Blond much better than 3787, and they list Leffe Blond as a commercial example of that yeast, which they do not do for 3787.
