Yamaha CS80

I'm starting to do the electronic repairs and refurbishing on my '80 
(replace CMOS chips, add bypass caps, etc).  In addition, I am 
planning to replace the Tolex.  It's not horrible, but it's not 
great, either.  So, what color should I use?

I've found these two sites: 
  http://www.vibroworld.com/parts/tech11.html 
  http://www.mojotone.com/index.php?link=gcandt

Anyone have comments on these places or suggestions for others?

Which pattern matches the original best?  Black Tolex/ASC02, Black 
ASC08, or Black Elephant Hyde ASC44?  Is there a market for a purple 
CS-80 (ASC43)?  How about a red one (ASC45) to match your Nord gear?  
Any '80s metal bands looking for a mint CS-80 in snakeskin (ASC34)?

I'll probably go with black, although the purple would look very 
cool.  The strangest is the Tartan tolex on the second web site.  I 
can't even picture it.  If I am tempted to try it, I would ask that 
someone take the CS-80 away from me until I get better.

I'd say you're looking at the Black Elephant Hyde or Black Mesa/Tarus.

The Tartan is only effective if you have found a wellspring of bagpipe sounds in your CS-80...
