For my style I'm very happy with the old, or more properly said, the classical designs. Other styles need the best performance... And finally I'm asking me what are we discussing for?, the beauty?, well there are fortunately many forms of beauty, or to express it.

Luis, I agree. I love the ability to switch from current design with it's inherent ability to resolve tiny details with little or no flare to something a little more imaginative, or artistic. The real trick is to decide what brush to use for the canvas in front of you isn't it?
