I don't want to speak for Archaea, but I don't think he meant to only work on the 12-13 mile runs. What he's saying is that a lot of being able to complete a marathon is being at peace with running that far. Most people simply can't wrap their mind around it. Once you realize that you can do it and it won't kill you, half the battle is won.
I think you're pretty close to on target with your training, though I would feel a little more comfortable with you having done two 20 milers instead of one when the marathon rolls around. I just don't know if you have enough time for that and still have time for tapering. At this point, with your longest run being 12 miles, I would say stay with your plan.
Good luck!
