Enough diastatic power?

For future reference, I read an article a while back that gave Degrees Lintner for various commonly used malts.

As you'll see in the article, Maris Otter has slightly less diastatic power than American malts, but significantly more than most British Pale malts.

Per the article, a malt needs about 35 Deg L to be self converting . . . so Maris Otter, at about 120, can convert convert nearly 4x it's weight in specialty malts that don't have any diastatic power.
