Mark, you're less likely to get mugged when you're carrying it - like 
those people who cover up brand names with gaffer tape.
To be honest, I don't give a tinker's toss what my gear looks like as 
long as it functions and delivers what I expect from it. And, at the 
same time, I'm paying less for each result than I would when using 
beautiful chunks of brass and milled-from-a-block aluminium at x times 
the price.
