Erns-

I like the showa because I know in my pond that the black would shrink and the koi would grow so as to be less overwhelming with time. I agree with Mike, I would want a good look at the beni before making a decision. Some of the black may be hiding some poor quality hi. As for your growing chart, that chart looks reasonable as far as "average" koi sizes. However, I would want to be tipping the top end of that chart at every age- 2, 3, 4, 5....
