It depends I guess...if you were planning on also picking up an enchi, lesser or some male het pied to breed to the girl this year, maybe going with the het pied girl is the way to go, hope to hit the odds and use sales to fund your clown projects or other future projects. If you were simply going to do het pied x het pied or pied x het pied, maybe going with the pastel het clown would be the way to go and then pinch your pennies to pick up a 2 gene het clown male to breed to her. As far as going with what you like, that works, but if there's a chance on a sooner return on a project you're not necessarily crazy about, nothing wrong at all with going that route to fund future projects.
