@stuartk "I don't know if this matters to you but I find the writing difficult to read on the black face. Not really an issue if you use the remote but a difference from the silver face, all the same." You do bring up a good point. Although, I do seem to like the contrast of the silver buttons on the black face... I think it looks nicer as to my eyes, at least, it sets it off nicer. The silver buttons on the silver faceplate blends in. I'm guessing over time, I will learn to remember what each button will stand for.
@liquidsound I'm glad to hear that you feel the black finish is very nice! If I get the Jay's, I have decided to get it in black
Thank you both for your sharing your comments with me!
Best wishes,
Don
