You can't go wrong with either color. Obsidian black is black with metal flake it while black opal is a very deep (almost black) blue with metal flake. Obsidian black is very common, so I'd be surprised if you can't spot one at a local dealership. The dealership should also have a book with large paint chips in it for you to take a look at.

I had the opal black in my SL and loved it. Don't see many in that color. Going with the obsidian in the new GL since the opal is not available.
