    1) That turkey is a winner. If you bust it out on Thanksgiving you will get a lot of praise and high 5s. But we are all our own worst critics. 

    2) With that said, I wonder if your browning problem is related to your butter under the skin combined with cooking it covered for a portion of the cook. Hopefully someone with more turkey expertise than me will come along but getting good skin requires some drying. At that temp it ought to be possible - but you may need to go uncovered.

    I never butter it has a tendency to burn, I use olive oil.  I also brined for the first time last year and it turned out even juicer.  Also I don't use roasting pan. I just place mine in my rib rack flipped over.  Have fun and good luck.
