The difference is years of selective breeding combined with a desire to still produce the best looking animals around whether it is 1 gene or 5. To me a guy that puts 175.00 on his pastels says "I worked my ass of to produce the best looking pastels I could, you want a damn fine pastel here but they carry a price" I'll respect that. Then there's the other side people that produce pastel by accident and could care less what they look like they've move on to bigger and better things..
Gem stones are the same way.. You can buy diamonds from Cartier or you can buy them from Wal-mart.. both are diamonds yes. The difference is in the details and the ability to be consistent when it comes to what they produce. If all you want is a pastel and price is your swing point then there isn't much difference, however if your swing point it striving to find and best examples of a morph you can and the price be damned then so be it..
You want catch me bashing people who sell their pastels for 75.00 hell I've produced some of those myself.
But don't expect Cartier at Wal-mart prices to become the norm..There is a difference, but the difference starts with the breeder and shows up in the animal..
Ask yourself which pastel is worth my money..
