Default Black or white 802d3?

Looking for opinions on color choice? White with that grey head or all black?

Thoughts?
Thanks!

White.

But, I believe it's only for Europe.

What is the decor in your room....... I think the white may get old after a few years.

Remember, it's just my opinion....the white looks like a beta version of an R2 unit from the Death Star in Star Wars.

Dust will not show up as much on the white as the super shiny black, and your not going to get swirl marks on the white and silver head with time. Blacks look great just keeping them looking great is more effort just something for you to consider.

I wouldn't get a color combo I had not seen in person. I have not seen white and not sure if there
are any in the US. I got Rosewood and love it. As of a few months ago Rosewood was delayed as they had more demand for
it then expected. IMHO, black looks nice too but shows dust a few days after a dusting.
