What would the enthusiasts do??? Please convince me that black > orange, because right now they are equally attractive. I'm confused based on pictures and comparisons...both look great!

Thanks!

????? so what was your final choice/outcome?

I have black on order however after seeing orange in the flesh, I am seriously considering changing to VO!

Hopefully going to take another look at VO and ehite intbe next couple if days before confirming choice.

It's a hard choice as the Black and White 1m's tend to photograph really well in all the photos. The VO seems like it is a big challenge to photograph the color correctly.
In many photos it looks a gorgeous shade of Orange and in others it looks like it is red.
I've seen enough great photos and video though of VO that I ended up switching my order from White to VO.

Saw the VO today, in person for the first time, and i can say WOW!! I had my 135i in AW, but my 1M will be in VO!! Saw the 1M now in AW and in VO, and all i can say, AW is nice for sure, but VO is ''the'' colour for the 1M!!!
