I think that's a big part of it, since people do love the fancy colors/morphs - myself included! One of the reasons I'm breeding my BPs and corns is to see what cool colors & patterns will come out, which I guess you can't do with the Stimson's. I love him anyway, and he'll make a great non-breeding pet.
