Better results all around, as the match tends to be better. I picked
up a nice R-42 at NEAR-Fest which unfortunately has a fresh scratch
down the side from poor packing for its ride to the 'fest. The color
looks more like a charcoal gray-black to my eyes, or has a bit of
metallic quality to it? It just doesn't look 'black' I guess.
