Faceplates Silver or Black???????

What is your preference? Or, does it even matter?

The preferred 'faceplate color' pendulum sweeps back and forth over the years. Often, leaving us with a mixture of components.

Does anyone else take aesthetics into account when deciding on component selection?

Would you consider NOT purchasing the piece you know you want or know you should have, but couldn't pull the trigger because it didn't match your system?

Any other "sick puppies" out here?

Thoughts on where the trend is taking us now?

I can go with either color as long as it has a matte finish. I never liked the shiny stuff, except for knobs and buttons for that added contrast.
What would be better is a matte finish contrasted with a satin finish for the controls. I prefer subtle over flashy.

All the best,
