In the immediate future, I am cleaning them and am knee deep in key caps 
I can say, without question, that I appreciate two piece key caps!

I posted some pics of the industrial SSK in post two of this thread in case anyone is interested. That silicon cover is kinda cool so it stays.

The condom will be 3rd party and is an especially bad way to store Model Ms if it's tight. When I got a Model M like that one or two keys felt really bad because the condom had been slightly pressing them for years.

Thanks for posting your experience. What you say makes good sense so I removed the cover. With the cover it looked "automotive" like you sometimes see keyboards in a shop. It does look better without the cover in the long run. I'll put the cover on a blue logo SSK. I don't care as much with that onewebwit wrote: ↑The condom will be 3rd party and is an especially bad way to store Model Ms if it's tight.
