Having owned a couple of gadgets (mobile, cybershot camera) which are black anodised aluminium, I'd have to say no - the blacks show scratches far more visibly that the plain aluminium kind. It would look great (as an option alongside the al's) but I'd be more worried about scratches than I am with my al MBP - and thats got a Speck SeeThru case and a Marware wristrest cover...
