Those who bought an M6, black or silver?

Both look appealing, black for more streamlined finish, silver for more bold, which one did you get?  Maybe I'll have to convince the wife to get one of both, lol.

Re: Those who bought an M6, black or silver?

Bought the silver with 15-45 kit at a brick and mortar retailer after handling it while on a business trip. Despite that their website said they had black bodies and 11-22 and 22 'in stock'. Drove away to the job location and called 20 minutes down the road asking to have them bring in what I originally planned to do from their other store so I could exchange things. Came back and returned silver 3 days later. Got the black body.

Completely off topic-

They fu-bar'd the order and despite me driving back to the store an hour each way from my work location they didn't have the lenses. Came back 2 days after that and they only had the 11-22. So despite pre-paying for the lenses they still messed up after having 5 days to get the lenses there. Instead of trusting that they ship the 22 to me at home I asked them to return it, and almost asked them to return the whole kit and I would order it elsewhere.

Bad experience, but had I 'showroomed' them and ordered online after checking things out in store I would have had everything in 3 days and saved 3 hours of driving.

Silver, simply because I like the way it looks.

Silver, looks nice and retro and the kit lens is still the darker version.
