Could.. not.. resist..

I'm not a winter lover whatsoever! I love being in the greenhouse; I'm sure you know where this is going...

My first trip out to the greenhouse, I saw this delenatii with two growths,one growth in bud, for $15. I almost got it then, but my p. sukhakulii just blasted a couple days before that. I wasn't ready to get another paph in bud and be upset if it blasts.
Every time I went, I saw it. It just sat there.. waiting to be pampered. I decided on Saturday I wanted to give him a try. I won't be too upset if he blasts. Once the bud/bloom is gone, I'm going to baby/pamper him
I mainly got him because I like the foliage. Some of the leaves aren't in great shape, but I think with some care he'll look much nicer. He's more blue/purple than green. Some of the upper leaves have a darker ring around the edges, and the underside is almost completely solid (parts of the base are spotted.) To me it's almost like a dark purple with a slight red hue?

My phone gives the impression of warmer (yellow) colors, so I edited one photo while sitting next to the paph to give a better example of the color temp. The green leaves in the photo are from a phal.

Closest color correction.

What do you guys think of the plant's potential quality? I'm not familiar with variations, but to me he looks a bit darker than a normal delenatii but not dark enough for a dunkel.
Also, do you think it was a good deal?

Btw: this paph came from (Erich) Michel Orchid Nursery. I don't know when his plants moved to Hilltop's.
