Have lessers, worth getting a butter?

[satomi325]

Hey Everybody!

I have been wondering about this for a while now. I am looking to buy a lesser and a butter. Probably pastel butter and lesser. BUT, this thread has me thinking that it is not necessary as long as I got a very good representation of either with a pastel thrown in.

I eventually want to make my way toward some nuclear (Butter x Fire) morphs. I have looked at these on WoBP's and the fire lesser and fire butter do look different.

Has anyone experimented with these and can tell a difference once you start getting into the 3-4 gene territory.

I personally like butter just from the pics that I have seen. BUT, will a good lesser do/make the same things down the road?

The only reason the 2 combos look different on WOBP is probably due to the parent morphs looking different and/or on different ends of the spectrum. For example, the lesser can have a reduced pattern, while the butter have a busy pattern. And the fire in the nuclear vs fire lesser could look different and contribute differently in the offspring. Like one fire can be really blushed and flamed out, while the other is a sub par fire w/ little flames and blushing.

If you got two similar looking butter/lessers and bred them to the same fire, I bet the offspring will look alike.

And offspring in a single clutch can vary greatly as well..

In my opinion, a quality lesser can produce the same stuff as a quality butter.
