Is getting a special color morph of a Ball Python worth it?

I saw a really gorgeous BP at petsmart that was pure white with black eyes. I wanted to get it immediately but it was $500, which seems to be fairly close to what they sell for online.

But it's kind of hard for me personally to justify that money when I can get a regular BP for around $30 at our local reptile show. Is that $500 something that can be recouped easily in a breeding loan? I don't know much about that stuff.
