Default What would you do - expensive orchid clone virus

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering what you might do if you were in my shoes.

I ordered an expensive (by my standards and probably by most of this board's standards) clone of an orchid species. The plant was decent-ish quality, but had a couple of bad looking leaves. I tested the plant with a virus strip and it came back with a very clear virus result - not a faint evaporation looking line - the test was practically glowing.

Vendor's policy promises replacement for diseased plants, and as such the vendor offers a replacement plant of a different clone, and by the looks of it, a nice one, though I suspect (it may not be the case) that I could get an equivalent plant for a lot less elsewhere.

I am probably a bit irrationally stuck on the cultivar itself, which is why I spent a lot on it in the first place. I would prefer to be refunded on the plant itself if I can't get the same clone.

Am I being unreasonable here? What would you do?
