I know what you mean about looks. I've looked at the Polk radios too, but they just don't look like all the fit an polish of the other manufacturers is there yet. If they can clean them up and make them look like they weren't cooked up on some hobbyist's work bench I might consider one.
Several times I've been ready to buy one, but it seems they're never in stock. I'm not adding myself to a waiting list and hoping I get one in 9 months. I've never seen anything buy positive reports from people who have them, and the looks don't matter much to me, it's the features I'm after. I actually just wish Futaba would make a 200 model version of the 6EXA, that would do me for life.
Heck, I'd even be happy if I could take the Campac out of my boat radio (which supports 8 models without the campac) and use it for a 6EXA level transmitter. Yes, I did just admit that my boat radio supports more models (16) than my plane radio (6). [X(] I hope I am not banned from the plane fora for admitting this.
Only making high model memory features available on $400+ high end systems is silly, many of us who need more memory have no use for all those switches, dials, and hundreds of different mixing options.
