What would you do?

I'm not saying that pastels don't brown out. I am saying that pastel, at her young age, is already browning. Some pastels are much browner than others.

Quality plays a huge factor in my breeding. I would rather pay a couple extra dollars and get a quality pastel than a sub par pastel, as that example is.

I agree with this. No one is saying pastels don't brown eventually, but there are different levels. The OP is asking for opinions. My opinion is that, to make good quality pastel combos, you need a good quality pastel. I don't think this is one.
