Default thinking of getting catt. skinneri

Dear Friends

I am thinking of getting a 4N seedling of pink catt. skinneri, but still on the fence if it fits (1) my skills, and (2) will be okay with my windowsill conditions. I am successful with large cattleyas (Irene Finney, dinard, C. G. Roebling, perciavaliana to name a few), with preference for late fall and winder bloom habits. I do not have special care arrangements beyond very sunny Eastern window during cold months and bringing the plants outside during warm months, which works well for me, all grace me with blooms consistently. Cattleya skinneri looks lovely on pictures, but I might be disappointed with flower size, as I am accustomed to large showy blooms. Another concern is if seedling will even survive my somewhat harsh winter conditions, although I have four 4n dowiana v. aurea seedlings now for which I would have to get creative during winter months, so one more plant won't be a burden. I am limited in space so I have to be selective what I add to my collection.
Please share your thoughts on skinneri, and if it's worse the trouble. Also, is 4N a big plus or just a trend? I have couple 4N plants, but since I do not have them in 2N, it's hard to assess benefits without a compare.
