Need Advice - 460L Color
OK folks .. here's the deal. I put my name on the dealer's list over (1) year prior to the LS460's launch. Evidently an obsidian 460L is somewhat hard to come by (but I'm still on the list for the next obsidian 460L the dealer receives).
Dealer called today and they have Black Sapphire Pearl 460L. The paint chips in the brochure make it hard to tell the difference between Black Sapphire Pearl and Obsidian. The website clearly shows how much blue tint is in the Black Sapphire Pearl color. Can't seem to find another Black Sapphire Pearl car to compare with, either.
So what do y'all think (Yes, I'm from the South) .. DEAL (Take the Black Sapphire Pearl) or NO DEAL (wait for the Obsidian) ??

I say wait for the Obsidian if that's what you really want, but I think Black Sapphire will look great on the car as well, & since the car is here already, don't turn it down before you've seen it, just go down there to see it in person, who knows, maybe you will love it.
