I think it looks OK - what one person thinks is great another may not like, so it's really up to you to experiment. How is the price of Rice Bran Oil over there? I'd use that instead of sunflower oil just because I think it performs better, but again, that's personal choice.
Why the unusual percentages? You could round up or down - 30% palm, 15% CO, etc. This would mean you are not having to weigh out fractions of grams, which is impossible unless you have a jewellers scale.
Most people don't use more than 5% castor because it can accelerate trace and also cause the bar to be a bit softer, but there's no law against using 9% if that's what you prefer. You could increase the OO to 20%.
