It depends on how much you love the dark silver and how well it works with your wardrobe. The fact that you question whether it's something you should purchase, I gather you're not totally in love with it. My personal opinion is to begin with basic colors and then branch out. I agree with happymm that the '07 ds goes well with a lot of colors, and that there are non-metallic flaps arriving in May. I have no experience with the '08 dk but it has a different hue than the '07.
