I own both a Caprice and a Sterling and love them both. The Caprice neck is very satiny smooth.. If it wasn't, I wouldn't have bought it as I hate glossy necks and anything that is remotely sticky. The Sterling remains my favorite bass neck but I find the difference in feel between the two to be very small.
Your mileage may vary, of course, but I think you'll like it.
