Completely torn, 2025 blue vs 2026 black. Any thoughts?

I love the 2025+ R3 look and I’m ready to purchase, but I’m completely torn between two offers:

2025 in Team Yamaha Blue: $6,948 OTD delivered
2026 in Midnight Black $7.1K OTD delivered

I know 2025 and 2026 are identical, but I wonder if saving $150 on a previous model year is really worth it

I do like how the black matches my gear and my car, but it is a bit more generic looking. The blue really pops and is easily identifiable as a Yamaha R bike the second you look at it

Probably splitting hairs here, but what would you do?
