As a very happy IP/Stone owner, I have to suggest the black instead... ...for no other reason than the selfish desire to limit the number of IP coupes rolling on the streets. 
IP takes just about as much effort to keep clean (albeit swirls wouldn't show as much, IF you F up and make swirls in the finish), so the detailing difference between the two isn't as huge as you might think. IP definately isn't an easy color to keep clean but, like black, the reward for doing so is a great-looking finish.

I'm just not a fan of the yellowish tinge that the pearl in the IP gives the car. I'm a fan of bright arctic whites. If you're going to go white, go white. Therefore, for IP versus black, go black! Black on black.

The IP doesn't carry much of the yellow pigment. The pearl isn't pigmented with yellow at all. Of course, the base(color)-coat is ivory, so there must be some yellow to it.
When clean, the IP really just looks like bright white, and it's only where the sun hits it that you see it's got some serious pearl to it, and it sort of comes across like a white that glows. It's always had what I considered a very arctic look to it, especially with the Stone interior.
Pics never seem to reflect the color properly. They either show a car that just looks white or there's some other color/hue to it because of reflecting surrounding colors. The sun in twilight shots always makes the IP look a bit yellow, but that's just the nature of twilight shots.
I have yet to see any IP pics that truly reflect what this paint looks like in the sun. It's definately one that you have to see in person to get the full effect. But don't do that. I'd rather there be another black G running around than another IP G.

i was in the same boat when i was buying my g...black or white....i chose ip because to me it was nicer but i wished they had black interior.....the only issue to me was if you wanted to do a kit its really hard to match that color. you can come close but its soo hard to match from what i've been told because of the pearl....black is nice but like everyone says its a beeatch to clean and even harder to keep clean.....and i have 35% tint in the front and 5% in the rear and yes it is nice with the tints.
