No, no, no Matthew!

All the Power FC Commanders are black placky with a \'green\' LCD screen about 2.5" x 2" in size.

I imagine the blue and silver thing your thinking of is actually the Apexi AVC-R (Boost Controller).... looks much more bling than the Commander but does a totally different job I\'m afraid!

You dont HAVE to use it - buts its quite handy! If you dont like the look of it you can either:

a) not buy one in the first place
b) shove it in the glove box when you arent looking at it or
c) paint it a pretty colour and stick neons to it :D

They all look like this (but dont come with the holder, they are another £60 or some thing stupid!):

You can have the AVC-R as well as the PFC and Commander if u so wish - but as you already have a Greddy boost controller it would seem a bit of a waste of cash (AVC-R will do same job as Greddy B/C you have - may be a few more bells and whistles) - although I\'ll have the Greddy job off your hands for a few ££\'s if you really HAVE to have the Apexi blue and silver BLING BLING! :D
