The cruise is great when you need both hands to do something like changing out your glasses from shaded to clear or vise versa. Even putting on sunscreen and of course if you want to travel a constant speed. If you prefer the black then that is the one. Remember it seems like well over half of all F6Bs shat show up for a get together are black, of course matt grey is not rare either, I preferred black at first but glad I got the grey for the cruise, the black pipes and the less common color. Either one should make you happy.
