I agree with waiting for the male. Double gene males will be even less when your females are up to size. Based on what you have in your sig(a lesser and a poss het pied pewter, no?) I would wait and shop around for a double gene male that's 100% het pied, so you can prove out that poss het pewter. Perhaps a firefly, bee, butterbee, lemonblast, fire enchi, and the like that are all 100%het may be good choices. Of course, it may also be a long shot, but in a year when your ready to shop for that male, there may be some poor desperate soul(poor guy!) who's got a TRIPLE :O gene male close to your price range....
