What are your thoughts on Spitzhauben crosses?

So I put the egg laid today in the incubator but curious if anyone had a Spitzhauben cross And what does it look like? The only roosters I have in the pen are a mauve Orpington and a cream Legbar so I think it’s gonna be an interesting cross.

I don’t have experience with those roosters but my sister has spitzhaubens and a Sumatra roo. I hatched out some of her eggs and ended up with these two.

They are very similar looking and very hard to tell apart. One has more white on her than the other. They’re flighty birds and lay an off white egg.
