I have been around a while and i know that a bunch of these AI sires are just a pretty hair/clip job .

Say that about the calves they sire, because I've seen alot of herd bulls phenotypically identical to yours that sire some good calves, but I've also seen the calves out of the same cows that are ai's and there is a world of difference. Mind you I said phenotypically, so this statement may not hold true for your situation, but it does for most. JMO.
By the way, nice bull, no he isnt a big time promo bull but I wouldnt mind cleaning your cows up to him. But probaly not worth your time or money to collect him, if you want insurance on your investment, I think it'd be cheaper than collecting him.
I would see what he sires, then decide wether or not to collect. Phenotypically judging I would say no, but if he throws them good, go for it.
