I think no stopper is better than mix'n match.

I agree, I think you need the right stopper.

Thank you both. I will be patient and wait until I find the right color.

If the price is right, I'd still buy it, because you might find someone else with your color stopper but the wrong decanter. Might as well snatch it up!

Ah, idee...you had to come along and be all optimistic : ) Now I wonder...but it is kind of expensive...I might make a lower offer, then I'd feel more justified. Anyway, thanks for your post supporting the opposing view--I appreciate it!
