Picea mariana 'Aureovariegata' - Full Sun?

Can this handle full sun here in zone 6 Ohio? I'm not sure how much yellow is on this tree and how sensitive it is. From the pictures I'm seeing online some of the plants are dusted in yellow, others are almost completely yellow, others are almost completely silver.

I've pretty much given up on pure yellow conifers. They seem to bake here. However, my spring flushers seem to hold up good in full sun. Also, my conifers that are dusted with gold such as Picea abies 'Gold Drift' do ok in full sun. This will be my first Picea mariana

I just though that I would check with those that have this plant before I submit my order.

I saw that Ken had this in a thread here on Gardenweb last year, but the pics were deleted. Do you still have these photos?
