tough choice!! it would depend on your wardrobe! if you wear mostly dark coloured clothes...i would recommend dark silver... and if you wear lighter cooured lothes...brown would be hot!!

It's a tough choice... But I already have a Marron Fonce Jumbo so I'd go with the DS!

I agree it depends on your wardrobe, but I like the brown better.

good post! can someone kindly post pics comparing the 2 colors? i'm a bit confused here as i recently bought the striped reissue which according to the SA is dark silver but it looks a bit bronzey to me.. i'm wondering if i got the wrong color, or if this season's DS just looks more bronzey, or if i'm being oversensitive.. TIA!
