Those all look really good.  My recipe is pretty simple, looks like this:

OG 1.049, FG 1.015
84% German pils
8% Carapils
8% wheat malt
~14 IBUs, homegrown Hallertau (just a bittering addition)
W-34/70 or 2206

A small addition of Munich or melanoidin would not be out of place, though I haven't done that.
