Same. White looks gorgeous with cover plates, but black looks nice on it's own. The only problem I have with the white one honestly is that it's default cover plates are more of an 80s/90s computer case beige (but only the cover plates the rest is more of a slight off-white). Not really brown, but just not pure white. I'd check out the cover plates at
