I agree with you so much!
I'm a huge fan of everything red and flame: Siameses, Snowshoes and Balineses so I absolutely love the new Balinese Flame and I went to an auction and "won" it.
Someone cared to IM me while I was bidding to tell me the cream Balinese is more recessive than the flame.
This ofcourse was kind of this person but not at all at interest for me I just wanted the Flame Balinese as I was so in love while I would not pay that same amount for the even more recessive cream (I have not seen the proof myself though).
Frankly I don't care for recessive but I care for cute
And yes rare to me means way more than recessive as well and ofcourse if I have a click with a fur or a trait combination.
I adore for example the chateau Grey & White no 2 while I don't see it often.
I can only hope people are going to care for more than recessive alone eventhough I understand the recessive hype since there are so much traits and furs released in the recessive range, but yeah is it that important is the question ...
