Default T206 Mathewson dark or white cap?

I’m sorry if this has been asked before but doesn’t look like recently at least. I have been interested in a while now in buying a low to mid range T206 Mathewson. Part of the reason I haven’t pulled the trigger is I keep flip flopping over which I like better the dark or white cap. I was always a bigger fan of the dark, seemed somehow sleeker to me, but lately the white is really growing on me. My question is - it seems at least lately they go for about the same price for any given back/grade. For example a Sweet Cap in PSA 5 for each recently sold - $2,700 for dark and $2,800 for white. What I can’t figure out is if you look at PSA pop reports the white cap seems to be across the board 1/2 the population of the dark. Wouldn’t you think this should give the white cap a larger price premium than $100 (4%)? Does this represent better long term value because white is more scarce or does it simply mean the demand is usually greater for the dark cap because more people like the look of it?
