Bicinctus or Clarkii?

[sonofgaladriel]

Hello my fellow clown lovers. I've got a dilemma.
I'm looking for a pair of clowns for my 30 gallon cube (24"x24"x12") anemone tank. Tank currently has a small red based ritteri, a sebae, and several color morphs of small BTAs.
I'm looking for an 'unusual' but not necessarily a 'designer' pair of clowns for the tank.
I've kept ocellaris and percula over the years and am now consdering something different altogether for this tank. Other than a few chromis, they will have the tank to themselves.
My LFS has a trio of ORA spotcinctus and I can have my pic of the 3 for $65 each. OR, I can simply buy a nice juvenile pair of Clarkii (which look almost identical to the spotcinctus minus the spots) for $15 each.
Are the spotcinctus worth the extra $50 per fish?
What should I do? I've been researching but can't make up my mind.
Is there another clown I should consider? The clown must have personality and go well with my current nems.
Thanks!

yes the bicinctus are worth a few $ more they are a verry nice fish when they are adults . I am not sure about the spots. i know ora breeds them. normal ones are awsome even without spots. since they do develope streamers in many cases.

besides clarkis are huge jerks when they get older haha
