So I have to chime in that I too like my AV for filling in to provide blooms when the rest of my orchids are out of bloom. However, I have to say that I am more of a fan of the Streptocarpus genus- to me they have a little more appeal that can be somewhat orchid-like and the one I have has been in bloom non-stop for the past 3 months since the first bloom it put up (a tiny cutting-propagated plant at that point).
I also like that Streptocarpus seem to be a little less fussy than AV's in terms of watering and temperatures, etc.
