GFM for me. I like it because it can look like so many different colors (depending on the lighting outside).

Colors are not the same. Starfire has more pearl in it, lending a darker shade and more colors reflecting in light. In Starfire's darkest state of being, it can be fooled for a "light" Glacier Frost Mica.

^If you like both, go for Glacier Frost. Glacier Frost can look like Starfire Pearl at times, but not vice versa.

^Ooops! Glacier Frost usually starts to look silvery on cloudy days, when the sun is completely obscured, in my experience.

I thought GFM looked kinda cool when my g/f was buying her IS so she had a look at it and said "ew, that looks pretty gay to me..." With that said, she bought SP on black and her cousin just picked up a SP on black a couple weeks ago as well. When clean, it's a very nice color.

Personally though, I think SP is too plain for an IS-F.
