Default Silicon Silver: Any get it and have regrets?

I love this color---but hate that it is another $1000 over the other metallics so struggling with ordering. I almost ordered a Velar in this color a few years ago.

I am thinking Silicon with black roof and acorn interior. Likely with the black package (although that adds even more to the cost vs picking another color.

It seems like a very 'complex' silver to me, which I like.

Moretti is the only one I know of out here that ordered it. I'd be interested in his thoughts since he's had it for a while now. For a vehicle this expensive IMO it's worth the extra money if that's the one color you like best. I was somewhat criticized by my sales guy when I added carpathian paint but wouldn't add the brite pack to get the rear recovery eyes. Gotta draw the line somewhere $$$, so I get where you're coming from on the extra $1000. When mine finally arrived they had it in the showroom instead of outside so I think it won them over.

Its a pretty interesting color. It looks different depending on the type of light and the intensity of the light. Sometimes it looks more silver, some times more taupe or beige. I originally wanted carpathian grey so its a little light for my taste overall (Ive never owned a vehicle that either wasn't a darker color or was a bright red). The metallilc flakes are pretty neat.

Here is a photo from a trail I went on in Montana last month :
