I accidentally ordered Briess white sorghum liquid extract.

I was planning on making my usual IPA, which is:
1.7 kg Coopers IPA Brew A LME
1.7 kg light unhopped LME
0.4 kg sugar
US05 yeast
various late and dry hop additions
Usual OG 1.055-1.057, FG 1.009-1.012

If I use 1.7 kg of the Briess in place of the light unhopped LME, what will be the effects on OG, FG, and body, dryness, taste etc.? Bad idea or not?

It will be ok, but skip the sugar and use more of the malt extract instead as the sorghum tends to be a bit dryer.
 
It has a distinct flavor, at 1.7 kg you will taste it in the finished beer...but it will be beer.
I use it to make (gluten free) starters, but avoid puting it in my (gluten free) beer because of the subtile apple/metalic flavor it imparts.
