Heidi,
I'm glad you took my suggestion because this is my favorite finish by far. It is much more elegant than the others.
I would equate the finish on a sculpture with the frame on a canvas. Sometimes a painting needs a complex frame to help "dress" it up and complete it in order to give it a certain presence. However at other times, the simplest of frames is all that's needed to set a painting off and let it shine on it's own merit.
The ivory finish is your simple frame. It allows the viewer the opportunity to be one with a beautiful and emotional piece of art. Less, in my experience, very often turns out to be much more.
