The silver metal finish is actually quite nice. And the bronze metal version blends nicely with many exteriors.
The flush mounted one is also a unique option as the flush installation makes the size less an issue and has a professional "built-in" look.
I had mixed feelings, but the "aesthetic committee" (which is VERY picky, er, "selective") approved the silver version.
You have to look at it installed, not just in isolation as a product photo.
YMMV, but I prefer the "may look different, but doesn't look like the cheap crap all my friends see at Costco or Best Buy".
