Subject: How much is too much for a partial mash pale ale/ipa?

I was wondering if you could post my question to your email list!

  I just got into the brewing game a bit ago(only one batch completed).  I
want to brew a pale ale/IPA hybrid, meaning basically a good malt presence
with a decent flavoring of hops.  I was trying to analyze the average
amount of hops each kit was using for this type of variety in the couple of
brewing books I have, but they all seem to be a bit different.  I know this
is because of the different varieties of hops, and at what point you add
them to the boil, which I think I have a good handle on.  I am using
cascade as a base for flavor and adding Amarillo about halfway through for
bittering and some good citrus flavors.  I was thinking about adding some
more cascade in the bittering stage to accompany the Amarillo, or as an
aroma hop to go with the other hops I choose to go in last.  If you add
these up, it comes out to 4 oz of hops for a 5 gallon partial mash IPA.  Is
this too much, or am I about right in assuming this will turn out to be
that pale ale/IPA mix that I'm aiming for?

Thanks HBD!!
