I got the silver/gray Avenue (women's version)... it's a little bit funny, because I recently bought a road bike that is also silver... so I have a very small fleet of silver bikes with black accents now.

I really like the Avenue so far - she has different skills and interests than my road bike, and I just don't have to be nervous about taking her anywhere I want to go, or loading her down with groceries. She's steel and so feels a bit like a tank, and has a nice smooth ride.

What kind of Bianchi are you expecting? (I was lusting after the Bergamo, but couldn't justify spending that much right now.)
