What a beautiful description, Patty!
I'd say, if you have a chance to see the species you're interested live (as opposed to in pictures), grab it. (Attend a show, visit a breeder, etc.) For some of them it's hard to get a picture that really does them justice.
My intermedius, for instance have an almost metallic sheen to their yellow-orange coloring that I can't get to show up in photographs. Very different from the strong but more waxy yellow of leucs, for instance. (Hmm, wish I were as good at descriptions as Patty...)
