Outcrossing is great, valuable, esp phenotype to phenotype..but just as with
any unknown pairing of genes (which is what outcrossing is, pairing of genes
for an unknown, albeit "fresh" influence or outcome)
you MAY get the type you want or you may not. Remember it isn't necessarily
what mom, dad or grandparents bring to the genetic table it is often genetic
pairings many, many generations prior. Type to type sounds good, in
theory, but often fails because of the influence of so many other genetic
presences. It is at least a place to start.
Outcrossing also does not guarantee vigor, health or long life, anymore than
inbreeding guarantees disaster.
