I haven't got a lot of results in this area, yet,  but I seem to remember
Brad Kasparek saying that he got the highest proportion on of Broken Colours
from BC  crossed with plicata.

So maybe using a Plicata SA would be a good place to start. Adding
Momenteous Occasion to your list would be a good idea, it's prob one of the
best breeding SAs there is.
