You made the right choice, you only have to look at the Chartreuse and it marks. They do clean up well though. I too have gone for a black one, I am interested to see what those cuff zips are like compared to my first gen version.
+1 on the new cuff zips. That was one thing that I didn't quite like about my 1st gen one, it was difficult to get off with gloves on or while it was soaked (i'd have to flip it inside out), and it was difficult to put it on while on the bike. I always felt like I was forcing the cuff to stretch
