Is Phantom Black a rare color?

Anyone has a Phantom Black? Got pics? Looks like most people will go for Brilliant Black and save the $495.

Only option I miss on my car (not willing to pay $2500 for it).

Brilliant Black isn't a bad second, though.

...actually, if you're referring to keeping it looking clean, I expect them both to be about the same. This is my third black vehicle, and I know what to expect (esp. during pollen season in Central Va.)

but if you have to repaint for some reason, the pearl is harder to match and more spendy.
