thinking about shusui

Well now that i have two good asagi, I was thinking about looking into a good shusui.

In research I found out they were the first douitsu variety ever developed and the only koi to be developed in Tokyo proper ( as opposed to niigata etc ).

Color varieties include Hi, Hana, pearle, and ki.

I was wondering if anyone else has some experience/expertise in raising and appreciating them.

I showed my wife a picture of a hi shusui I was smitten with and she said it was the ugliest koi she'd ever seen.

help, am I the only one who can see thru the ugly duckling to the beautiful swan
it will become?
