It depends on the price, and how much I like the coral. my frogspawn also went from 2 heads to around 12 in a year.

Lots and lots of different little ones. Frog spawn is usually a pretty fast grower, but 10 new heads from a two header in two years is excellent and above average. Definitely a great mother colony candidate. Have you tried fragging it yet, any coral that grows that well under T-5's would save a lot of other corals from death or a death like life, if frags are distributed. Just cut a couple back heads or lower heads, and then frag the heck out of them as they grow. Your tank has sounded like it is definately healthy enough to grow out frags well.

actually it's been one year. and most of the growth has been under pc's. and at the bottom of the tank at that. I don't think frogspawn likes as much light as some people think.

I have not owned much frogspawn and never got relly good growth with what little I have had, but it has been a long time since I have had a tank without intense halide lighting. I might just get a couple frags and try them in the back corners of a tank and see what happens.

I like smaller frags. I enjoy watching them grow and reproduce. I can't afford expensive frags. The absolute MOST I'd pay for a frag is about $50. It would have to be local and it would have to be SUPERB in quality for me to even consider it.
