Does anyone else like the old silver backlit keyboards of the pre-Unibody MBPs better than these new black keyboards?

I liked the feel better and the visual look better. From a functional standpoint the old keyboards backlight didn't "bleed" light around the edges of the keys like this new keyboard does.

(I'm just being nostalgic for the old keyboard.)

They bled a little. I would prefer that all the light went through the characters too. I'm not especially bothered about the other differences, though the silver keys were nicely contoured.
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....
