Correct or not no. 87: as good as any

Dear All,

Is the following sentence correct? I think it's not. Could you help me make it better?

A: Could you please tell me what time next Wednesday you could have a meeting with us?
B: I suppose after lunch at 2 o'clock would be as good a time as any.

Thanks

B is OK as written. The basic idea is this. There are other times as good as 2pm next Wednesday, but there are no times that are better.
