Any advice against white boots?  

The black ones just don't look as nice, IMO:

But if anybody has had experiences with white boots and if they end up
turning off-white or grayish/yellowish pretty soon, I'll have to go with
the black boots .

I don't have experience with Sidi, but with white gear in general... it depends on how you feel about cleaning them after you ride in them.  If you don't mind cleaning them each time you take them out, you'll be fine.  Dirt can stick hard if you let it sit, though.

If you're not sure and you want to get me a pair so I can beta-test them, though, I understand completely.   :mrgreen:

Go with black unless you want to clean road grease off all the time.

Sidi vertabrae boots are excellent. They are well built and comfortable.
The white ones look nicer than the black. There's enough shielding on the heel and toe area to keep it from getting scuffed. The only place it will get the dirtiest is where the shifter rubber touches on the left boot.
If you tend to drag the toe slider, you can get some with  ceramic inserts that almost never wear out.
