I have the opportunity to buy a black Daytona from my AD now. I've been on the "list" (whatever that means, lol) for 3 years waiting for the white Daytona. My AD says it'll be "probably one more year but can't say for sure" before it's my turn. Doesn't sound promising, but its better than getting laughed out of the store. However, he told me he has a black one he can sell me now. Should I just settle for the black now? Slightly lesser bird in hand...

Consideration: I like the black one a lot, but I like the white one more. Also, if I take the black, I believe I'll never be offered the white one as the AD will feel like he already "took care" of me. What do you think?
