My Ipod died

I used it too much and the hard drive wore out, the guy at the apple repair place said it wouldn't be worth replacing the harddrive, that it would probably be cheaper and better worth my while to just get a new one.
I had the 30gb white Ipod classic... they no longer have white ones.. boo
30gb ones are no longer available either, so I am gonna get a the 80gb, and the colour choices are silver or black. I can't for the life of me decide which one to get. There is also the option of free engraving on the back of the Ipod.
Do you reckon I should do that, or is that too tacky? I would probably just get my name engraved if I did. What do you guys think?
Help me decide lol
