Subject: [Leica] silver vs. black M-System lenses

Greetings,

I'm new to the list, so I don't know if this question has been asked
(please accept my apologies if it has.)  My new M6 TTL will be purchased
within 30 days.  While researching which lens to start out with, a question
crossed my mind:

Are there fundamentally any differences (mechanical, durability, etc.)
between the silver and black versions of lenses?  I notice from their
literature that in all cases where both finishes are offered, the silver
version weighs more. Are they made in the same place? 

I'm most likely going to start with the silver M6 (.72 viewfinder) and the
35 F2 Summicron Asph. for shooting architecture and urban/suburban
landscapes.  Probably a silver version would look nicer?

Thanks.
Best to all,
Michael
