I rarely use more than 5% as crystal or cara malts in an APA grist especially if I'm using a "darker" base malt such as MO.
I agree that Magnum is more like the real thing - and possibly Perle too but I don't know about holding back the Cascade for the last 10 minutes of the boil.
There is another issue that recipes simply can't cater for and thats the subtle variation in flavour profile over the years that beers such as this have. I have been enjoying this beer on and off over a number of years and I can swear that it has slightly changed - possibly due to subtle changes to the hops flavour profile as different crops of flowers are used, grain variations etc. Sure, they're not huge but I'm sure they're there...
Anyway, brew both and do a side by side comparison with a bottle of the real thing as the control!
