Charles,

My feeling (and others close to me) is that the basic finishes don't look "executive" enough. I don't intend for this to sound snooty. I'd just be careful that your audiobytes don't look like something that BestBuy sells, you know what I mean \:\) ? If you get walnut or cherry, everytime you or others look at them, they'll look like something real special \:\) .
