I like that charcoal one. The silver accents "pop" more, while still being less likely to look a bit too bright and shiny for all of those dark home theaters that worry about all ambient light sources. (Plus most of my home theater rack consists of black faceplates...) I think the only things that I'd tinker with if I were doing it are the button layout in the middle (maybe a single row of them instead of the staggered rows?) and the display itself (one part of me still misses the 950's two-line display when it comes to relaying lots of information legibly from a distance).
