I like dark polar, it looks very glossy and the reflections contrast the matt of the leather.

I like maple wood (the black one) or the aluminum trim. Definitely not the other two.

The only one for me is light poplar. Looks classy and expensive.

I like the aluminum trim too, or carbon. But it is too expensive.
