I too have a DSOM and still REALLY, REALLY like it. However, when I see AO out on the streets I do have some envy every now and then. Personally, I think the DSOM is still a bit "richer" of a color but honestly I don't think you can go wrong either way!

I just bought the Atomic Orange! I think both colors are great but the new tint coat AO is awsome in the sun and the shade! Why would you pass on a brand new 07 for the older version? Get the one you like because you will kick yourself in the head later! I bought a 2004 Comm. Ed. and really wanted the convert. Well, I have an 07 convet. now, live and learn!

Biased towards DSOM (got mine last week!) but in the bright sun..I think the AO has more "pop"
In the evening or at night tho.. or sitting under UV lights.. DSOM RULES!!!
Either way.. .close cousins and you can't go wrong..and for me being in So Cal.. I like being more different than every other silver car out there....

I like DSO but just wasn't into it's reddishness.
When I first saw my AO, under florescents, it was more coppery than I expected, and I really liked that. The metallic richness of each looks great... and the orange peel looks perfect in AO.
DSOM might be more elegant at night -- like the MR and LMB -- but I think the AO's the winner in the sun!

This might have been stated already, I didn't read through all of the posts, but I just thought I would mention it.
I don't know which color the car is AO or DSOM, but the January wallpaper from the NCM website is HOTT!! Let me repeat that: IT IS HOTT!!!
