Lighting in a Silver Menorah

Is there significance in lighting in a silver menorah?

Shalom Rav,
There is a mitzvah to beautify the menorah as much as one can afford. Some books mention that there is a special enhancement in using a silver menorah.

The Mishnah Berurah (673:28) writes that one should make it beautiful according to one's ability. However, it does not mention silver. But in the Be'er Heitev there (673:13), the enhancement of silver is mentioned.
