This post is not gonna look aesthetically pleasing but I really need to decide before February

So I just got back into lioden and I've decided that my common rlc king is boring and that I want a new king even tho I spent like 20 yohimbe barks on him lol.

So now I have to decide between two options, starting a breeding project which could take a long time(and a lot of currency) but would keep me busy on here OR getting a less common rlc king which would be more affordable (pretty sure) and will give bo marked cubs


Now what woul I do if I chose the first option?

I have an interstellar base app that I could use, but I am not sure if that base is still that popular and would it even be worth it in the end so feel free to give me your opinions
(Or I could make my life so much harder and go for a BO/combo base?)
Also if you have any base recommendations feel free to tell
I would like to get as many rosettes on him as I can, later using random marking applicators to hopefully get more rosettes but that would cost me a lot.
I could also try to fill the Inbetween slots with BO marks and maybe some better applicator marks.
And now another question, are rosettes worth it? Should I settle for like a quad rosette or should I use RMAs to try and get more? What markings/marking colours are valuable now?
I was planning on mut/heritage repping him with either a 2nd gen pie/patches or maybe even a groupie that I would use a MOD on.

OR

If I choose the 2nd option:
I already have a bushveld rlc (the April 2021 one) but there are already 3 or those kinged. I would try to sell it in February and try getting a better clone either in February or later. This option would be much cheaper but I am not sure if it would be worth it, the rlc I could only use for BO marks and maybe near clones, also breeding combo bases(if the base is a factor that is) but I could do that with the first option too. I was planning on mut/heritage repping him with either a 2nd gen pie/patches or maybe even a groupie that I would use a MOD on.

I'm really leaning towards the first option but I'm scared that I might waste a lot of currency and never really profit. I also currently have a CRB project so I will have to stop that or atleast slow it down oce I take on the project


I really need advice and would appreciate if you could help!
