Both nice colors, but IMO, Electron Blue takes the prize.

another biased okie 
(though my picture is kinda crap!)
my suggestion is if you cant decide between the two, (since they are both awesome and probably rare colors as C-5 goes) maybe look at the production numbers. I think i read somewhere that only a little over 6000 MSG cars were made in 2003-2004. Im not sure about the electron numbers, just an idea. I would guesstimate that there are more electron blue cars around since i think i see a lot more of them.
and by the way that pic of the electron blue car is freaking HOT!

i think its coming down to the fact that i cant find a spiral grey 6spd vert for a reasonable price, but have found two electron blue with z51 as well so that decision is i think being made for me. either way its win win. the blue in my opinion says "wow awesome" the grey says "classey"

They are both nice but the blue is too common and a spiral gray with red interior is awesome and pretty rare. There is no color that sparkles like the gray in the sun; never saw soo much metal flake in a factory paint job. just pick your favorite color now and don't worry about selling the car in the future.

There were 451 Corvettes at "Vettes at the Beach" in Sylvan Beach, NY this last July. I was the only Spiral Gray car there. The color was only produced in 2003 and 2004. Aside from the fact that I love the color and was the only color I would buy ... it is also rare. I see it as subdued elegance ...
Blue is also great ... buy what you like best.
Good luck

Both are great colors. But, I must say that my buddy Dave (Myvettedream) has an awesome Spiral Grey C5 that is to be envied! The depth of color in that shade is truly awesome!
