Yeah, I agree with that. There's no doubt that the artwork on the T205s/T206s trumps it (by a lot, actually). I think I was drawn to them because I always read about how ugly they were and seeing them in person, I didn't think they were quite so bad as a lot of people believe.
There are ugly ones and the overall look is pretty sterile, but there are also things I enjoy about them. Some of the action shots are pretty nice, the all brown background doesn't terrify me as much as it does others, and even though the gloss surface has cracked on many of them, I can appreciate the change in surfacing from the other two sets.
They're also harder to find, which makes the hunt a challenging one.
