+1 on the color being a sales killer.
I've got 3 VML batteries nearing end of life. Initially it looked like a good time to upgrade my VMLs to VMX's. Unfortunately that color scheme is simply horrible. Horrible as in "deal killer" horrible.
OK - all you guys that don't have black smart phones and black Macs have to exchange them for black or you won't be cool :roll:
Paul, with all due respect you won't find iPhones or Macs in either of the two colors that you selected to make the VLX in. Color is like sound: everyone has an opinion, positive or negative. Black, white, and gray are "neutral" colors are used by companies like Apple for a reason: they reduce the ability of people to make chroma-based 'judgements' of like/dislike and work well for professional equipment. In other words: they don't diminish sales.
I understand that Buff wants to be 'different' and project that as part of their image. However, someone else's "different" isn't necessarily good for me and/or the image I present to people I work for/with. Pretty much every piece of Buff equipment I've purchased over the last god-knows-how-many-years has been available in black as the primary color and later you offer other colors for people who want them. Why not do that with the VLX?
