2008 M45 Shift **** Vs. 2009 M45 Perforated Shift ****

Ok, I just picked up two different M45 shift ***** from Rick at Riverside Infiniti today and I'm not sure which one I should keep. One of them is the new 2009 M45 shift **** in perforated black leather. The other one is the traditional 2008 M45 black leather shift **** with contrasting (stone colored) stitching. After installing both, I think I prefer the 2008 **** with the stone stitching, since my car has the stone leather interior and my sport steering wheel is black leather with the same stone stitching.

What do you guys think?

Here are some comparison pics:

Don't they have a black **** the black stitching too? I'm thinking about picking up one of those (I think the stock one looks out of place).
