i'm not worried about getting taged at all, i get more damage at work than a python could ever do with a bite..
stainless steel can be very sharp (train aircon units) and electricity packs a real big punch

back on the subject..have you thought about getting one of those platinums???

Hi. I've been bitten a few times by my MD, never by my Darwin. Of course this may be just due to the individual snakes. Everyone always seems to say Darwins are snappy, but I haven't found that with mine. The MD has bitten once out of aggression/fear (when young) and a couple of times as a feeding response when I was careless feeding. The Darwin is more flighty, but not aggressive at all. IMO both are great snakes.

well if convincing your mrs that you need 2 new snakes doesn't work now, i'd suggest buying the MD that way, you could breed them, which would take some time, mating, aging if needed, plus gestation and incubation etc. but, once you have babies, you'll have money plus you would have had time to convince her, from the hatchies, buy a Darwin, + maybe even a mate for it

I think you should get a mate for your current python first
If you have any desires to breed your animals.
But then still get a Darwin later on, they are nice.
