I have to agree Derek, I never really liked the "off red" hue of Fire Pepper. The Basque red is nice since it's a pearl, but still not a brilliant, bright red...though it is brighter than FPR. I love how bright and brilliant SMR is in the sun, it is gleaming. Though sometimes it looks a bit flat since there is no pearl or flake in it, thus no depth.
I actually dig the burned bronze/copper color the 01 CL's came in. I think that's the rarest color of them all.
