Variegated Halls honeysuckle

Hi everyone,

I'm looking thru Mellinger's catalog and see they have a Lonicera japonica
aureoreticulata.  Their catalog says it's very hardy (zone 4) and seems to do
well in sun or shade.   I've heard that Hall's honeysuckle is less than
desireable.  To quote Ken Druse in his book Natural Shade Gardening: "Don't
grow the rampant Hall's honeysuckle, lonicera japonica 'Halliana'.  There are
plenty of better-behaved hybrids and a host of natives that do well in shade."

My question:   Has anyone tried the variegated form or know someone that has,
and is it less rampant because it's variegated??

Thanks
