Yet another % question

I have yet another % question. Say I want i.e. a caramel motley corn with no intention of breeding him/her would it matter if I purchase one that is a caramel motley 100% het Amel or Ultra versus a caramel motley that is 66% het Dilute, Anery, Amel. Do the different % of the corn snake that you purchase only really come into play if you want to breed him/her thus affecting the offspring or does the % make the actual original caramel motley corn appear different (lighter, darker. . .)?

I hope I'm making sense. All of this % stuff is more than a little confusing to me. :confused:

Also does a corn being male or female make much of difference as far a color is concerned?
 
In general the hets are only useful if you are looking at breeding.

*Some* hets *may* effect the color of the snake, it is usually noted that an animal that is het caramel can sometimes give a yellowish effect to the snake. And sometimes an animal that is het diffused can sometimes effect the belly checkers, but in general het's and % possible hets only matter if you are looking at breeding.

I notice for some morphs that males usually, not always, retain the best color. Particularly in lavenders the males seem to have more peachy/pinkish/purplish tones.
