Deciding between a female YB (Het Ivory) or a female pastel.

I've seen some pastel yellowbellies that are really pretty and was wondering my chances of getting those high yellow ones. Then I'd also be able to hopefully get a male pastel yellowbelly that I could then re-breed to the female yellowbelly for my possible ivory.

Then... in the long run, I'd be able to breed my pastel to a female yellowbelly pastel, and would a super pastel still be in the picture -- therefore making the YB a better choice of the two?

Am I making any sense?

Fine print: All breeding is done for the joy and experience of being a small breeder. No chance is any of the above done for economical benefits lol.
