Tuesday Recipe Critique and Formulation!

I'm looking to try out making a milk stout. I've put together a recipe in Beersmith which is a modified version of this recipe based on what I had available and the ingredients I could get.

I'll be doing this BIAB mashing and batch sparging.

I'm just hoping to get feedback on the overall recipe and see if there is anything I should change. The QTY's of the grains changed a little from the recipe I'm basing it off as I converted to metric and rounded some of the numbers slightly and also as I substituted some of the grains based on what I could get.

Anything I've missed or any suggestions?
