around here we can get male pastels for about $50 and females for $75. if we would go for a pastel i would get the super pastel. At the hamburg show they were selling them for 125. he has gone to the shows with me a couple times but not since he has started thinking about getting into the hobby. i really would want him to get a two gene morph though, since there are some cheap ones. the last show i was at was selling pastaves for 225. do you know what other cheap two gene morphs are out there?

i agree with you about the personality. my first ball was a normal male who is a little baby. my second was a spider who was really nasty. she struck at anything that moved and would puff up and hiss. now shes as calm as my male.
