The reason that female pastels are double that of males, is because you need a female pastel to make a superpastel. If you have 1 male pastel and breed him to 5 normals, lets say that each normal lays 6 good eggs, you will end up with about 15 pastels (about $25,000 worth). If you breed 2 pastels together and your female lays 6 good eggs, you may end up with 1 super pastel and 5 pastels (also about $25,000 worth). Here's the catch though, the super pastel is a male and you raise him up and breed him. Anything you breed him too will come out pastel. Breed him to a spider and you have pastel spiders first season along with any co-dominant morph you breed him to. You have to think about as the fact that co-dominants are hets., breed two together and you'll have a super form. Look at the price of hets. for any recessive morph, the price of the female is usually at least triple the price of the males.
