very good Mark... even if you ARE getting ahead of us with this 
one thing I'd ahve suggested doing differently is instead of unison doubling the clarinets, why not in thirds, so one doubles the flute at the octave and the other does the harmony?
another thing to watch for is that the oboes in sustained notes will be a bit more pungeant than you might want... I'd have prefered oboe/cor anglais doubling the flute with clarinets in sustained notes.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
