Personally I would sow the seeds, as you will never know unless you try and as you keep good records Cad you will be able to look it up the next time you or anyone else asks that question, me I would be scratching my head trying to remember when it was I tried that

They won't grow in the packet - I've learnt that.
Also, onion seeds have a limited shelf so you may as well bung 'em in.
That is so true, I’ve never had any grow in a packet even when it got damp and they started sprouting I still had to put them in the ground in order to grow.
If you have the seeds you have nothing to loose by sowing them. I personally prefer Japanese onion sets, purely on a cost basis. I tried Senshyu from seeds once at roughly £2.50 a packet and got twenty spindly plants. £2.50's worth of sets usually gives me about 100 sets which grow well and form large onions.. (still eating mine from this year and haven't had to start eating the spring sown crop yet!} Its a no brainer for me.
