Phal. Sogo Yukidian 'V3': to buy or not?

[greenbean]

Hi all.

I received an email from a vendor I signed up with about a phalaenopsis special. Any 3 phals for $50, including shipping in pot. I've got 2 picked out already: Dtps Rong Guan Mary and Dtps I-Hsin Ice Coke 'KH7155'.

I'm trying to decide whether to add Phal. Sogo Yukidian 'V3' or not. I already have a white phal NOID with 5-6 inch flowers, but it never seems to hold more than 4 or 5 flowers. If it makes more buds, they just abort. I've had it for almost 4 years now, the first year it didn't bloom because my brother broke the spike, and so it's now forming it's second spike since I got it (it bloomed twice on one spike, but I cut that one off last year to see if I would get more blooms on a new spike).

It does look very similar to Sogo Yukidian, but I'm wondering if it will ever produce near as many flowers. Would it be worth getting the Sogo Yukidian?

Just FYI: As alternates, I'm also looking at Phal. mannii, Phal. philippinensis, and Dtps. I-Hsin Picture "#23'

Thanks for your input!

Here's a pic of my Phal. NOID for comparison:
