I had some issues based on appearance myself. I didn't care for the schnabel forend but it was the cut on the back edge of receiver that turned me off the most. On the small gauge guns it has a squarish cut at something other than a ninety degree angle. Had they just made the edge straight (and maybe decided against the side panels) it would have looked much better to me.

Otherwise, beauty is as beauty does. If the tool feels right, functions without flaw, and has regulated barrels, does anything other than bias enter into the discussion?
