Scotch Blumenfeld Attack

Hello,

I am a decent player (1600 USCF) and I am thinking of learning the Scotch Blumenfeld for white. If you don’t mind, I have two questions. First off, is this an appropriate line for someone of my level to be playing? (I have many friends who play it, a lot of whom are higher rated than me). And secondly, is there any good books or print-outs on how to play this line as white? 
Thanks for your help,

Ben

Here are the starting moves of the Scotch Blumenfeld for White, just for clarification:

This is a good opening if your opponent doesn't know it if they do its bad. I fooled many people with it. I am gonna stop tho.

Interesting, this is exactly the Scotch line I am having trouble with as black.
