The other reason to add, say, underbelly is if you're going to breed him to another dragon who has a tert. Having the tert on both parents forces the issue of tert in the offspring. Like if you have a tert-basic dragon bred to a gembond dragon, there's maybe a 5% chance of the gembond showing up. But if you breed an underbelly dragon to that gembond, it's more like 20% chance of the gembond showing up.
I agree that crackle is too busy on mot of the patterned primaries, except for really dark tigers. I love a light crackle on an obsidian tiger, for example. The obsidian tiger is a much better, more velvety black than an obsidian iridescent.
