I like the look of the new player a lot, but I do have a couple of suggestions:

1. I don't really think the silkscreened text is necessary at all; the logo shows up on boot, and it seems to me that having that text there all the time will just be a distraction from the actual display...

2. I think black buttons would work very well; the stark contrast between the black faceplate and any light-colored buttons just feels jarring to my eyes...

One of the things I really like about my Mk. 1 is that, if you look in the car window, you can't tell there's anything in that spot of my dashboard unless you look really, really carefully (I've fooled myself into thinking the poor thing was stolen a few times because of this). I like that a lot, and I'm hoping the Mk. 2 blends in in similar fashion...
