I've talked with breeder at length about their feelings on if the different lines are different enough to really call "different" and the response seems to be split. Some say yes some say no. Me I'm going to, for now, keep the lines separate and market them separate just for those people that want a VPI sugar or want a Calico..
Wilbanks works with both lines and has stated his opinion that they are different enough that he thinks they are different genes. I'm a year or so off from breeding sugars but from what I've seen I prefer the sugar line over the calico line
