In my experience red jalapenos are definitely sweeter than green. The
variety of jalapeno seems to be what determines the heat ( along with
weather, etc.) For example I've found the Delicias variety to be heatless
and Biker Billy (my favorite) to be very hot.

Ahh ok, they were nice but not what I expected. The variety is called
Hot Lips (in NZ) so maybe I'd better bite the bullet (or the chilli)
and try one green. I have other peppers of indeterminate parentage
because they are just mixed second generation seeds from a variety of
peppers I grew. So much for careful collection maintenance...
Thanks.
