I'll bet that the majority of those hidden/undiscovered traits will be an increase in haft marks...something hybridizers have spent years trying to clean up. Working with the older varieties will take a lot more seedlings to get something with a modern form. Now, if you like the historic look, then you can probably get something in one generation.
