I too would like to know which line would most likely hold their B&W look into adulthood. I desperately want to try for axanthic pieds myself... Some day...
This happens because the different lines are in truth different types of mutations that effect the animal in varied degrees of the same way.

Just because the animals closely exhibit the homozygous trait doesn't mean that they are the same genetically.

So if you look at say a lesser Mojo BEL while the combo of the two looks like a Homozygous Lesser on a genetic level they are not the same.
