They have value I think more with newer/high demand genes. eg you want to produce a ton to get ahead with your projects.

Personally, if I was just starting out, I'd save up a little more $$ and invest in some morph females; even basic females such pastel or yb are great to start out with. You can get some nice combos. Plus you have to have the morph females to make the supers, might as well as start out with them IMO.
