I bought my male albino from them and was thoroughly happy. They were great throughout the entire process and wouldnt hesitate to buy from them again.
I would also go with the 0.1 pied. The female pied alone would be worth the $650.

I put my deposit in today for the female pied, thanks everyone for the consensus input!
But also Rat160, when you say them do you mean a particular seller or were they partners at some time?

If you have a female pied, you have to wait 2-3 years to breed it and you will have less options. IF you have more ball pythons, IMO, the second choice is better to me because with a male pied you can breed multiple ball pythons and have cool morphs in the future like mojave pied, pastel pieds, etc. PLUS, with a male pied, you can prove out those two 66% hets and if they are het, 50% of the clutch should be pieds. If you have a female pied, you have to wait 2-3 years or longer depending the apetite of the snake and only stick with one type of morph when breeding. With a male you can have so many outcomes and results.
Right now I own a 1.2 with a 1.1 incoming.
I was thinking along the same lines as you maddumpling but I think i decided I didn't wanna make hets the first breeding season and would rather have visuals. then from those visuals since I will have have two possible pied clutches I am hoping to pop a male to hold back that I can start my het lines with...since the male would only take about a year to be mature and would have all of the females ready for him when he was.
I've been waiting til I have all the snakes here to update my sig list of animals :D
