Um (+22) vs Perfect Diamond (+19).
Besides the obvious +3 in res, what is the benefit of using an Um vs a PD to upgrade a shield?
Well, a PDiamond is like 10x cheaper than an Um, so many people prefer to buy other stuff with that Um instead.
A minor diffence is that the PDiamond will make you shield look White on the character screen. Depending on your taste, it might look better or worse.
The color change only appears on single player character screen (at least for uniques, which aren't supposed to change color). I think otherwise if it's a base item it changes color in game and on character screen.
That bug bothers me cuz my single player Harlequin Crest is yellow now

E.g., this is how Whitstan's Guard looks like with a PDiamond.

I should clarify a bit...it's not a run-of-the-mill shield. This is a pretty solid rare magic book that I will get Larzuk to put a socket in. The only place it's a bit deficient is in the res area so I really don't mind spending the Um on it. I have several others that I'm saving in case one of the uniques I'm looking for drop.
