I used to work with another mechanical designer and we were always having that discussion. Everything I designed had to look good as well as function. He designed in blocks and they functioned, but looked boring as hell. In this day of CNC, it costs practically nothing to add a little style to a machined part, but it takes someone with a little artistic talent to do it. I think the old cast iron stuff looked so good because of the pattern makers. Being woodworkers by trade, they naturally had more artistic talent and it found its way to the iron through the patterns.
