If you had to do it all over again -- black or stainless steel?

Stainless steel is terribly out of fashion right now. People really don't like it.

So what is in fashion?

BLACK!
HATE, HATE, HATE SS! Shows every smudge and fingerprint. It was installed new right before we bought our house so we are stuck with it until it breaks. HATE.
