def. a fan of white on a ssm. I wanted the nr's originally too but they were too pricey. def needs to go lower. i think it will look 10x better. nice job so far though.

Nice pics... but just my own personal preference, anything smaller than the 16" is somewhat unappealing to me. Again like I said, to each his/her own...
