Do prefer a black or silver faceplate?

I have owned very few pieces of black faced audio gear in my time.
When I have the option I tend to lean towards the silver model.
How bout you? Do you have a preference or does it even matter?

Wood panels done tastefully is my first choice. Wood has a beauty and natural warmth that just isn't possible with metals.

I feel the same way when it's comes to my choice of a wood finish. Never ever black.
