At first I wanted the yellow/black core but had always had my eye on the alu/brown because of its style, but its price was out of my range. Now I have found it for really cheap from an online vendor at amazon. My worry is if I do not like the screen that so many people seem to say is horrible on the brown cores I can only return it for an exchange, no refund, within 7 days. However, if I do have a problem with the display since im guessing it is an 08 model (thats why it is going for so cheap to make way for 09 stock) if there is a problem with it suunto will replace it with an 09 model and from what people are saying the brown display on 09 ones is much better. However, there is still the problem that if it is not what I like then I am basically stuck with it. So my question is, does anyone out there absolutely love their brown core display and could you post some pics of the display under various lighting conditions. Thank you
