I must be the Lone Ranger and totally crazy here (no comment please Tim), but I actually LIKE my BUTT ugly Switchman. That darn thang is so homely it is cute, kinda like a bulldog!!! But let me tell ya, when you hear what the Meitner stuff SOUNDS like, if you really love music, it is kinda like the difference in opinion you have of the unattractive woman after having 8 beers!
But, as always, YMMV!!!
