I've seen both options 1 & 3 in silver, and both options look good. Having a CF expose in the scoop is definitely saying "I'm heerreeeee". Your personality will dictate which you choose. I like both 1 & 3. I'll be in your area next week. How far are you away from Renton?
Renton is pretty close.. about 15mins or so. There's a large group of us in Seattle, just post in the NW forum that you're visiting and we'll all meet up for dinner.
