I might leave out the roasted barley, I know it's not very much but I think it might give a more stouty bitterness than you'd expect in a porter.

I got 3rd place in a comp once with just DME, crystal & chocolate with fuggles for hops, so I'd say it looks good.

I'd leave out the roast barley too.
I made St Peter's honey porter from the Norm's Almanac thread and it is excellent. I'm tempted to try it without the honey, too, as it seemed very nice before I added it.

I agree. The last porter I brewed I used some brown malt for the first time and it turned out good.
