I just got the silver 505 at my local Sony Style store. Like one of the other posters, I like the futuristic looks of that color. Never had the 500, but looked at it several times in the same Sony store, same lighting conditions. I could tell right away that the 505 had much better contrast, so I went for it. The only disappointment was the cover - I wasn't expecting it to be brown on the outside. To me, the brown is too light. Reminds me of bad vinyl couches from the 70's! I ordered the black leather cover from the website right away - I'm sure that'll fix my aesthetic issue.
