Is the color bleed issue with the midnight blues fixed? I recall there being a problem a few years ago.

To each his own, but I think any finish is nice. I tend to prefer mapleglo, but forgot about that when I found my FG Laredo...

Yes, it has been fixed.

Not only did they fix it, the "new" Midnight Blue (introduced in 2006) is an amazing color IMHO. It doesn't have that purple hue that the "old" Mid Blue had, it's also sightly darker and less metallic. If I were to order a new 4003, I know my choice of color would definitely be Midnight Blue.

This makes it easy to back and forth between Jetglo and Midnight Blue:
