Just came back from dealerr service with a Black DI!

My car suddenly died on me on Friday night. I thought the Red DI's were supposed to give some sort of warning, but I was on my way home from work in rush hour traffic...suddenly no power. Costed over the the snowy shoulder and car would crank and crank but not start. Check engine light was on.
To make a long story short, I had it towed to the nearest place (happened to be the local dealer). They diagnosed it and gave me a new Black DI (original was Red with 112K miles on it) and sent me on my way.
I know this topic has been beaten to death, but how should I handle it? Go back and demand the Red DI? Apparently the Black is cheaper than the Red, so I may have to pay the difference.
I think they may balk at an "Internet Mechanic" who thinks he knows more than the service techs. But, if I demand a Red one, they should agree to swap it, right?
To top it off, they used 3 black torx bolts, and one shiny mismatched bolt from a random parts bin. Looks like crap. I know I'm being nitpicky, but this is a dealership, not the local Pep Boys. If the bolt was in a less visible location, I probably wouldn't mind. Add this to the fact that they never called me and comfirmed what type of oil I wanted (requested a full-synthetic oil change...they save me the Saab Semi-Synthetic 5W-30, not the 0W-40 Full Synthetic). I'm kinda ticked at everything right now.
