Difference between this and black/silver UV coated? Is the design with the silver and coating the only difference? I can't seem to find any others. I thought somewhere I read someone bought this one but it was white--I want this one in black, if it functions the same as the other black/silver model.Thanks!

One review said something about white, even though I'm not sure what they were talking about, but this one is black. I just received mine yesterday. I haven't used it yet, but it appears to be the the same as the black and silver.Edit: All black, blue LED light, works fine for me.

Looking at the model numbers, they appear to be about the same.All black: MRS152-30 (originally $23)Shiny black w/ silver: MRS152UV-3 (originally $40)Since they appear to have the same set-up (2 sockets, 2 USB ports - 1A, 2.1A), I'm guessing the price difference relates to the plain plastic vs. fancy shiny casing.

We got the black, and it matches just fine. However, it is tricky, because it does not disappear; you can see it, but it's better than having a hole in the screen. If your screen is grey, the silver would probably be better.

I erroniouslly purchased the non coated version for my wife. She is a sunrise/sunset photographer. The non coated version allowed significant lense flare when pointed into the sun. While on vacation, we met another photographer who had the coated UVA filter. She had the same problem we did, only bought the MRC and hasn't had a problem since. I have since purchased a B+W UVA MRC filter for her, among other stupidly expensive filters, but I have wasted enough money buying items "on the cheap" for her hobby to know that you get what you pay for. I buy B+W exclusively for her 5D Mk ii and L series lenses.

This model has two different color options - silver & white. I am not sure if black model is available on Amazon.

The "BC" refers to the "brushed chrome" finish. It's the silver-grey color, but it's just the color of the plastic, it's not really meta. I think it looks nicer than the white, but it's not that big a deal.

They all provide plenty of shine. The difference is that one is more coarse, one is fine, and one leaves a protective coating on the silver to delay tarnish. Go to their website and check it out. I agree with Phoebe about Tarn-X, she describes it aptly. I prefer the Hagerty's with the silver label. It's the same as in the blue jar but protects longer.

This would be a question for the seller. That said, I have the black one and would guess since there is only one description, and a choice of colors, it seems logical that the only difference would be the color.

It is really a personal preference. There is no difference besides the casing. I have the silver and love the way they look....

I have not picked up the white version, but the black finish has a subtle texture that does provide a very decent grip. I don' know about black finish over silver plating versus some other combo of materials

I have the black one, so feel free to discount my answer. I "think" my black one is painted metal, instead of painted stainless. Make sure read my earlier review in case my experience helps you. Once installed, it has been holding up and doing its job well over the past year and half.

It is not a stupid question, because it is obvious that you are planning on purchasing this radio, and you want to know more about it. There is no difference between the white and black versions of this radio, except the color. Both radios have the exact same features, with the only difference being the color. It is just a personal preference as to which color best appeals to your senses.

You will get black one, this is Fl which is newer model and they only make it in black, if you want silver you should get fj which is older model

I have silver and my wife has black. My silver case shows scratches easier than her black case. Not as easy to see on the black one.

I have the same problem. I bought the silver 500G (2/13/10) whose LED lights were totally different from the picture of product! then I googled this "new" one. nothing showed up excepted this discussion. Furthermore the official site has never showed this kinda model. What happened?! I got a fake one?

Deborah, I think the only difference between the two that I see is that one has the silver trim and one is black. I got the black one. It is still working perfectly. I was able to mount it under my dash with double sided tape so it like a built in outlet now. - John
