Default Which varieties next?

Currently, I have:
-2 Ice Cream mats
-4 "dwarf" Nam wah (approx. 11' tall) mats
-2 raja puri mats
-1 mystery (orinoco?) mat

I would like to add a couple different cultivars that have similar cold tolerance.

Any suggestions? I'll be driving down to south Florida in a few months and can pick some up while I'm there.

I've been reading good things about mysore, Manzano, dwarf Brazilian, 3640 and goldfingers. But I wasn't sure if one was much better than the others or if something else entirely should be next.

Any of those are good, except Manzano for my tastes. Seems like most Goldfingers aren't the real thing, but the Agristarts one is so-so at best. Brazilian I love in Hawaii, but the ones I've had in Brazil and Australia weren't much better than a grocery store cavendish, so no idea what a mainland US one would taste like.

Looks like Excalibur has Pisang Cylon and "Mysore", but can't find anything online for Pisang Klotek. Any ideas where I might find it? I didn't see it on GoingBananas website either.

I don't have any Pisang Klotek pups right now but lots of Pisang Ceylon I could ship you.
Have not heard of Excalibur nurseries if they are reputable or not.
