I tripped over the link to http://www.bhphotovideo.com on this site, which is utterly fantastic because it looks like i can order a reader and have it sent pretty much anywhere without all that faffing around with Ebay.

A reader review on the BHPV site suggested the blue might be easier to read than the silver, because the silver was 'too distracting'. The silver however appeals to my technogeek side (pretty toy) whereas the blue sounds ... sort of bluey and ... plasticky. This is probably a bollocks opinion as I have yet to even hold one of these things in my hands let alone see one in the 'flesh'.

So here's my question to all those Sony owners out there - blue or silver, is there any difference as regards readability in the above state context - and almost as important ... which looks nicer?
