I think the low number of people working with Womas has to do with the Pearl.

And yes Lessers are going to constantly drop in prices, everyone wants them, either for the extremely low chance they can get a platty daddy or for getting a BEL. Personally I can't wait to see a Lesser Fire.

But if you dont mind avoiding making supers or if you think you may be able to pull the woma far enough away from the line to make a pearl that will thrive, then go for it.
