GMT II BLNR vs. LN

I guess this is the right place to raise this (old?) question: GMT II BLNR vs. LN
Undecided, I listed some pros (+) and cons (-), in my opinion:

BLNR
Presence
+ colorful, catchy, joyful
- bit cheesy, flashy, tiresome in the longer term
Usability
+ sporty
+ the dual color scheme makes it easier to read the AM/PM time of the GMT hand
- less flexible to combine with different color clothes
- may not go well with formal attire
Long term value
+ currently sells at premium
- a possible S. Steel “pepsi” version will steal its allure
General Aspects
+ trendy, nickname denotes its popularity

LN
Presence
+ discreet, elegant, timeless
+ looks like a Sub
- bit dull
- looks like a Sub (yes, + and -)
Usability
+ sporty
+ can be used with formal attire
+ flexible
Long term value
+ just regular
- just regular
General Aspects
+ classic
- chaste

Although many think that Rolex would not irk its premium clients who have bought the precious metal version of the GMT “pepsi” introducing a stainless steel version, the recent Sky Dweller case shows otherwise. Should that be likely to happen, it may be better wait.

Another good reason to wait: they might well fit it with the newest 32XX mechanism soon.

Back to the choice, naturally it’s up to personal tastes and style. But, I’d like to hear different points of view. Thanks!
