I had a black iPad 1 (obviously) and a white iPad 2 to mix things up. I also have a white iPhone 4S. I really do love the white iDevices, but I felt compelled to get the new iPad in black.
With the display being the focus of the device, I did not want ANYTHING (I am an OCD videophile) to distract from the quality of the display. I can truthfully say that the white bezel did look awkward at times (other times it looked great). In this case, I just want this device to be a gorgeous display and I find that the black bezel tends to "disappear" better when you are holding it.
I'll probably just end up alternating every year, but change is good
