Haha, yeah, Gunmetal Grey is baws. Mate's is that colour, tis hawt. I also like the Blue the 9's came in - more metallic than any of the other colours.
I would've probably gone Yellow given any choice, though .
Re 'eternal battle': As a daily, I can not refute my CT9A choice. Some CP9A's do look the goods though! And yeah, like I said, I'll probably go down the nose-chop route... just not very high priority
