Trust me ... call Adam.
And I would get a Pastel Male, and a het pied pair ..... the additional male when buying a het female is a drop in the bucket. Then your het pair can produce a pied for you (eventually), and you can breed your pastel male to normals to make more pastels ....
If you breed a pastel to a 100% het, you will get pastels and normals, all 50% chance het for pied.
