The people who want both will never be satisfied so don't even bother.
Actually I want both and I would be quite satisfied if they just made it so that all colored gear had the same stat boost (And if were going by wanting to use the default color they could just add a "clear" dye that would just add the stat boost to the base item). Not only would this make dyeing not pointless (In the eyes of those who care only about stats) but it would also make all dye'd stats equivalent so the people who care about color can choose which color they want and not have to worry that someone (Elitists) are going to tell them every five seconds that there not in optimal gear.
