The green dial then seemed to provide at least some diversity.

In complete isolation I probably would have a slight preference for the green dial steel ROC vs steel RO, although I feel that pink gold brings the new ROC to a completely different level (more so than for the 26331 and 15500/15510).

Edit: in other words, pretty much what thekman said...
Agreed, we are of similar mind regarding these considerations. But your point about the significance of the pink gold case is huge, since I strongly agree that the pink gold ROC minimizes any other little nitpicky ROC concerns! In pictures, I feel the blue dial ROC in pink gold case is much more striking than the green dial, but I haven’t seen in the metal.
Thanks for your above comments

The green looks great on the chrono case too, if I wanted a RO case then the jumbo will always be my preference.

No disagreement here. Even with the little tweaks in the recent couple of RO iterations, I do always first think “it’s a little empty; something is missing.” Alas, that is what it is. But that point does strongly influence the appeal of the ROC for me. And, especially in steel, I love the green dial. If we’re discussing the pink gold case, then the blue dial I feel is more appealing. Ultimately, I’m curious to see a wrist shot of the green 15510 once someone posts it here.
Thanks for your comments as well.
