I had picked up a bunch of different blanks from southernpendesigns on Etsy and paired them with some Siroccos just to see...

...The first is Gun Metal/Gold on a "Black Gold 31" blank

...This one is Brushed Copper dressed with "Black Gold #3"

...Brushed Pewter and "Mercury 21"

...And Gun Metal/Chrome in "Munster 41"

This was really an excuse to try the two brushed Siroccos kits that I was hoarding for no good reason! I continue to find the Sirocco to be an amazing value and a great pen. Now I need to dedicate some time to a proper photography set-up.

Can't see what's wrong with the photos Greg. (Wish mine were half as good).
My preference would be the first two. Although there all good blanks.
I too like the Sirocco.

I tend to agree - I like the chrome and the gold kits (and black might be my favorite), but the two brushed kits really are very nice. The copper, paired with an appropriate blank, draws a lot of attention at shows.
