I'm probably not helping much by saying so, but I prefer the solid - it 
just looks cleaner, and while the gradient version stands out more that 
might be just due to the darker color, and finally, I don't think it's 
*necessary* for it to stand out so much - it's right at the top, bold and 
underlined. It probably doesn't matter that much, though. Either way, it's 
a great improvement over the current page!
