New to forum with a blue question

I drove a 2005 Elise for the first time yesterday. It was the first time I've driven a Lotus. I'm hooked. Sadly, the car sold 2 hours after my test drive. I'm looking for another, but I'm pretty picky about the color. They're all beautiful, but I'm set on the 2005 blue. Are the other year blues the same shade? I know there's the arctic blue, but outside of that are they the same?
I'd love a 2005, 2006, or 2007(used) blue Elise, if anyone has a line on one on the West coast, or as near as Texas. I'd prefer it to have the plastic shielding, though I'd consider it not having it if the price was right. Interior color is not significant to my buy, though I think I prefer black.
Also, and I guess I'll check the FAQ's here, Geico told me they wouldn't insure an Elise, as it's an exotic car." That was the only thing that caused me to wait on my decision, and lose out on the purchase. So if you could let me know which companies insure Lotus cars...and I'll do some dialing from the yellow pages.

Thanks in advance,

David
