I think that you should consider trying lager malt rather than the Maris Otter as Bells is only using 2 Row malt anyway.

Yes I was trying to get the EBC somewhere near with the pale malts available in the UK .The extra pale MA was as close as I could get to Briess pale malt and doesn't have the same flavour as standard Marris.

Believe me, when I brew I prefer the British malts however if you are looking to copy 2 Hearted then with the Maris Otter you will not have the correct flavour profile. Still a good beer I am sure but not the same.
