Which Australian varieties are worth growing?

Hey, which varieties are worth it in your opinion in pots with cold, humid winters and and hot, dry summers (Koeppen Cfb)?

I already have: finger lime, eremomandarine, eremorange, eremolemon, citrangeremo. My finger lime is one of my most vigorous and reliably fruiting plants (due to its "wild" character), yet the thorniest damn bastard in my collection after Yuzu. I really like eremoranges for their indescripable aroma. The rest doesnt bear fruit by now, but I like their habitus, scent and drought tolerance. I thought about getting the following varieties:

- citrus glauca/outback lime (spice, hybrid partner)

- Sunrise lime (finger lime x kumquat, edible peel)

- Blood lime (finger lime x ellendale mandarine, dark red, sour)

- Sydney hybrid (lime substitute) or Citrus australis (round lime)

- Faustrime (calamondin x finger lime, supposedly higher yield, weaker taste)

What is your opinion on them? Which Aussies offer a unique aroma, which do not?

Since I want to try them or maybe use them for hybridization, I am searching for following varieties:

- swamp lemon

- poncirus plus

- Ichang IVIA

- polyploid Ichangs or poncirus

Where can I get them?
