Black keys vs silver, on MBP keyboard

Here is a plea to anyone at Apple. Please revert back to the silver keys on your MacBook Pro's. I have a 2008 MBP with the silver/aluminium keys, and they still look brand new after 2.5 years of very hard work. I also bought a new 15 " i7 2010 MBP 3 months ago (with the black keys). Well after just 3 months of use, these black keys develop ugly shiny wear spots on every key that I have used.

The old aluminium/silver keys are WAY better - looks better, they feel smoother, and they still look like new after years of use. I cannot order a silver set of keys, and swop my black for silver, because the whole keyboard is different.

 MacBook Pro core i7 ,  24 " iMac,  20" iMac,  iPhone,  iTouch,  iPod etc, Mac OS X (10.6.4), Oh, also got the 64GB 3G iPad

Nobody at Apple reads these forums. They're just for user-user support. Somewhere on the website I'm pretty sure there is a feedback/suggestion link for stuff like this.

Also, I know you aren't alone. Many people seem to prefer the old style MBP keys as well. But as for me, I actually like the recessed island-style black keys.
