I've been thinking about this and decided to look through my records. Over the years there have been 50 +/- crosses purchased from the LA and some bonus crosses sent with a rough total of 350 - 400 purchased seeds. Currently there are 6 sdlgs from various years still here....not sure any of them are great, but they are being used in my own crosses. These are my 3 favorites....
Last Flight Out X Entwined in the Vine
Betty Harwood X Angels Gather Round
and this one from bonus seeds sent by a friend who grows my Doc Webster.
Doc Webster X Heman
While these sdlgs may not be something others would want to keep they do display characteristics I enjoy working on. Can you get a Stout winner from purchased seeds? Maybe....( most likely not) but you can get something that is worth keeping, using and possibly registering with whatever characteristics you may be looking for in the seeds you purchase.
