I'll have to try the white. I generally buy my limes at the local farmers' market - I'll certainly agree that this year they are smaller and dryer than in 2006. The vendors claim they are local Hawaiian limes, but I suspect they are from the mainland, and probably the same Persian limes everybody has at the supermarket. Four or five for $2.00.
