I personally would not go with white or silver, its well worth the money to get the black edition, the picture quality is much much better. Personally, I don't see any point in going for the +, just get the Hero 3 Black edition. Don't go for the white or silver. With the black you have the option to record in 1080p@60Fps for smooth slow motion, or you can even shoot in 2.7K. The sensor is much better in the black than the white! Hope this helps!
