JZ's Oktoberfest

Hi Eveyone! I am planning on brewing JZ's Oktoberfest recipe from Brewing Classic Styles this weekend. Instead of using WL820 (Oktoberfest) yeast, I am using WLP830. My question is, WLP830 gives a bit more attenuation bring my estimated FG from 1.015 to 1.011. Not huge but a little worried about drying the beer out a little too much. So, should I a) bump up the mash temp a bit maybe from 151 to say 154. b) Ferment at a lower temp like 47ish c) both d) don't worry about it
Thanks!

I would vote d, but I am willing to hear the arguments for the first two (especially how you would know how to measure the outcomes of those approaches).

don't worry about it or change anything... there is a negligible difference between the two, you won't be able to tell.
