My personel experience with this is the gold felt 'slippery' or wet. I had a good piece plated and really enjoyed the feel, but alas the plating job was not of high enough quality to last. Took a while to get used to not having any 'grip' but that was, I believe, simply a matter of discovering bad habits and addressing them.

I have been told that the gold is a cleaner metal, with fewer pores to hold debris and such, but I keep all mine really clean so I didn't notice anything there. Can't say that it made any difference that would justify the cost to go out and buy one, but if I were in the market for a new piece, I would probably get the gold.
