I agree.
I just learned, last week, that the only reason purple primer is purple is so that building inspectors can see that a plumbing contractor has been using it. They see the purple all smeared on the pipe were the joint(s) is/are.
The clear stuff is essentially the same...just not dyed, so you won't get the purple mess on your piping if you use clear primer.
If you don't need your work "inspected", I'd go with clear primer.
