I also prefer that open lacing the more that I look at it. Is the 'fashion-y' statement bad? I figured for $300 bucks AE was the best quality I was going to get and I thought those looked a little more modern instead of classic.
I'm biased against AE, maybe to a fault--I have a couple AEs but only in really traditional models. When AE gets into elongated lasts, chisel toes, anything too creative, I get turned off--their previous stylistic experiments have included bicycle toes and a lot of woven leather
That said, I am only one man and the pic you posted looks pretty nice.
