Which stem for my Clockwork - can't decide!

Ok, so I've gotten hold of stocko's lovely orange/white clockwork, and now it's time to personalize it a bit. I'm trying out stems but I have a serious case of indecision going on atm.

The bike came with a lovely stalk stem in black. Good. But yesterday I picked up this random chrome stem from a guy who was about to bin it, and I have to say it looks rather nice, only it's missing the top cap (might have to make one). Also, I suspect the chrome one might be a bit comfier to ride due to the rise.

On one hand the stalk is such a classic and it fits the orange like a glove, but on the other I really like how the chrome stem balances out the RC30's on an otherwise quite black setup. And I can't decide weather the clockwork looks better with a flat stem or with a slight rise.

I'm in mental agony here, please help me out, which one would you choose? :D

Black for me. But I have the same forks with an alloy one. But on that bike the black just looks better
 
I think the stem and seatpost should always be the same colour. With those forks as well, definitely chrome.
