sexual dimorphism in rusty black rats?

I'm going to pick up a rusty next weekend, and I'm unsure as of what sex to get. Right now, I have a female brindle, and a male albino. If I get a female, that will add one more clutch to the incubator for the year, which would be nice. I can never get enough babies crawling around!
If I get a male, I would then only be able to breed one male with my female, and would have a snake that is outside of the circle for a while.

But, my real question is-
Is there any sexual dimorphism between rusties? I know that there's a big difference in brindles, and if I were only going to have one brindle, I'd rather have a male. I know, I have a female, but she was given to me, so it's hard to complain. With the rusties, I think I'd rather have a pretty display animal than another breeder.
