Not to throw a wrench in things, but for the $200 dollar range, I would look at getting a male Fire, Enchi or Vanilla over the Pastel. I think the future breeding potential with those 3 are better, plus I like them over Pastel myself.
I have made the decision to work more Fire & Vanilla into my projects over the Pastel. You see lots of Pastel combos, but the Fire, Vanilla & Enchi are not as widespread. You see lots of Super Pastels, but not much of the Super Fire, Super Vanilla & Super Enchi.
The offspring value of the 3 mentioned is better than the Pastel right now, so you could hold one or two back and sell/trade into another morh or two to increase your collection and breeding projects.
