What are my chances with a Kuiter's Leopard Wrasse

Half Vaped

I have a Blue Star Leopard for just under a year and a Regular Leopard for about five months. It was my first try with the Blue Star and second try with the Regular. My first Regular Leopard never ate and disappeared in about two weeks. My two current Leopards started eating the day I got them and have been great fish.

I got offered a Kuiter's Leopard for $120, which sounds like a good price to me. I was told the shipment had a lot of losses, but the ones that made it are strong and eating well.

Given my success rate so far with Leopards has been two out of three, what are my chances a Kuiter's will make it long term? How is the Kuiter's hardiness compared to Potter's, Chaoti or Ornate Leopards?
 
Anybody with personal experience on the hardiness of Kuiter's Leopard in relation to other Leopard Wrasses? Is $120 a fair price for them?

My first choice in my third Leopard is actually a Potter's, which I think has slightly nicer coloring. But the Kuiter's is smaller and rarer, which are both pluses. I have never seen either in real life. I'm close to max capacity in my 150G, so if I get one, I won't be able to get the other. Would I be better off getting a Potter's instead?
 
I've had a couple and would judge them to be comparable to the blue star, Meleagris, black, etc. potters is more delicate and choati even more so. LA sells 2-3" females for $160, so you be judge on value.
