Scotch ale recipe - advice for newbie

I'm a noob home brewer doing extract and grain brewing. I'd like to do a scotch ale next. Could any of you experienced types tell me if this looks like a decent recipe for a scotch ale? It's 5 gall quantities but I will probably scale it down to do 3 galls.

Extract .........

10lbs Light ME (or possibly 50/50 Amber and Light ME?????)

Grains .........

1lb Crystal malt 60-80L 1/4lb choc malt 1/4lb toasted barley

Hops (bittering only) .........................

1.5-2oz Brewer's Gold or Target hops (60min)

Yeast ....... Irish ale yeast

Looks pretty good, the one I have uses 1lb of crystal 90L, opposed to

60-80L, and I'd add 1lb malted wheat to balance, then dry hop with 1/2 oz. Cascade hops, if it were me!
