I'd vote for tortoise shell. Here's a pic of my P90 loaded guitar with both options.

Haha. "I have no idea why guitar companies even make a color that I don't personally like". Trans black is my favorite. I'm currently on the hunt for one.

I'm a huge fan of plain tops. Also, trans black/gray is my favorite.

Man, you're comparing the sound between a strat and a PRS, and you can tell the difference that the nut makes? If you listed the differences between the 2 guitars that have an effect on tone, I would think the nut would be near the bottom of the list.

Here's my current board. This was before I plugged in the power supply cables, so it's a little messy.
