I find the patternless CRBs very attractive. They are a rich lustrous brown that is very different from a normal adult's color. I do think that their primary value will be in combos but the codom patternless allele also has a reputation for messing around with CRBs' pattern and color in sometimes unpredictable (i.e., not straightforward mendelian) ways (i.e., producing calicos and partially patterned animals). As a disclaimer, I have not experienced this firsthand since my patternless animal is not quite a yearling, but I trust my source on this.

I have not heard of a recessive form; only the codom. They go on average for a couple hundred, which is amazing IMO. If it gets validated that the patternless allele does in fact produce a spectrum of aberrancies, I suspect the price will rise somewhat.
