I guess it's like people with expensive watches. A gold wrist-band doesn't make it tell the time any better, but hey, it looks nice.

A gain is a gain, no matter how small. I always believe myself that it's a waste to use silver on any design where there was significantly more left to gain through better design. Using silver on a poorly performing design to get more performance is truly a tragic waste of the precious metal. That's like having that solid gold wrist-band on a $5 made-in-china watch mechanism that loses 5 minutes a day.

Sure it's "wank appeal", but people will do what they want, and obtain what they want, whether any of us approve or not.
