Super chill, but jag wonky. Worth it?

Hi everyone. I went to a reptile show today and there was a baby diamond bredl jungle jag with the most amazing temperament. They put her in my hands and I almost bought her right then and there. They said she's always chill like that and has been sweet from day one. Now, I was originally thinking about a carpet for next year, so I've been doing some research, and I didn't want anything with jag. I like the look but I feel that the neural issues are a problem. But other than that she's perfect, so my questions are:

I feel like a snake with neural issues is a fairly major downer. But I feel like a snake with an excellent temperament is a pretty major bonus. What are your opinions on this? Everything else being perfect, would you go for a snake with something you feel is a downside if it also had a real upside? How big of an issue is it really to have a snake who doesn't know which way is up? She displayed about a 40 degree head tilt. What are your experiences with owning jags who DO have obvious head tilt/wobble? Also, do they need any special care?

I need to decide by tomorrow, unless she sells before then of course.
