Being Ti these are going to show some scars as my Pam 25 has over the years so what finish would you think would show the least wear and tear? I am really worried about the smooth/clean bezel showing scars.

Trent...I agree with Oscar's comment above about the Brushed being much easier to care for in the long run as far as scratches go.  I'm going Brushed, but I'm tempted to order a Blasted too!!!mistake.gif ....must resist...must resist...subtlelaugh.gif

...and as Steve is pointing out the Blasted Ti is going to be much darker in color than a Blasted ss finish typically is.  Steve, and I had been trading some emails when I placed the order for mine, and he brought up an interesting point about the dark Blasted Ti and smooth bezel sort of being similar (in theme at least...because I think the Benarus pieces all stand on their own very well...inspired, but not a homage to a specific model) to what one sees in some of the various Ennebi Fondale pieces out there.  Got me thinking along those lines anyway...
