The latest 9 channel or more offerings from JR and Futaba are in silver cases. It seems to be the fashion.
I think it looks great, and feel it would look very drab in black. Also, in hot climates, black really soaks up the sun ... and gets hot. Not a good thing.
One should always leave a transmitter in the shade when not in use of course [

I agree.... I don't like all black. Looks cheap like the dime store toys. I bought the RDS but think they should have at least accented the case with some silver or chrome or something.
On the other hand, I also agree that the all silver SD looks kinda "Plain Jane-ish" as well.
