the factory red is chosen to pick up the white highlights with lowest impact to your night vision. why would you go white?

Yep I'd forgotten that one.

Will stick with the red.

White looks better cosmetically though & a lot of new cars are going with white/blue light clusters so I wonder if they're considering the night vision impact

hell, give it a shot man. I'm not an automotive engineer, there may be better options than the red!

Though I am somewhat one-eyed with that (past) trend for white-faced gauges. #8 )

Red is better at night, doesn't deplete your night vision as much. That's why it's used in ships and stuff.
