In this case you can get into the same genes for less money. I wonder how breeders scale from initial price based on single genes versus multiple genes. You are right about od pied but I certainly have seen some reasonably priced yb males. At the end of the day I know you have more experience in this matter but I just had some thoughts.
Male Pied are valuable when working with het females but if you work with an elaborate combo like OD YB Pied it really make more sense to use a Pied female and a OD YB Het Pied, that male will be valuable and the female can be worked in other projects as well.

The end goal being to produce as little number of hets as possible in the future by pairing Pied something to Pied

I still have het Pied but those are slowly being replaced by double het and Pied combo females.

Always think about the big picture
