Ok, on the really low Alphas...these are old hops, so I just used the Hop age tool in Beersmith to calculate their Alpha after the year or so I've had them. (Also a good way to clear stock)

Second rendition smelled great and I think will come out nice and light with a bit of a nice floral nose to it.
