the biggest problem that I had with the gold trim option was that the back box brackets were black (they were black on all three models).
I don't understand why any company, if they are going to offer up the trim in different colors, neglects to paint the back box brackets to match the rest of the trim.
I'm not saying that I'm fond of the color of the gold (as others have stated, it's a rather dull semi-metallic gold, instead of a highly polished gold like you would expect), but the black back box brackets make it look that much worse (in my opinion).
