Plating Options

Ok, as my Stage 1 is being concieved (sounds like two other trumpets have to be left in a double case for a romantic evening...............) I am trying to decide on the finish I will want. The horn will have a copper bell(little bigger than normal), Sterling Silver Lead pipe, and two slides. I've never tried a copper bell before, but I trust Felix. I want this horn to be able to sound lust and dark for legit work and nice ballads, but then scream like a banshee on lead.
I guess my question/request is for pictures and experience. PLease post a pic of your horn with Gold, Satin Gold, Brushed Gold, Scratch Laquer, Raw, and anything else that looks great. I know websites have some pics, but many of them are hard to really see.

Thank you my friends, I will post pics as this process unfolds, maybe even a sound clip..
