Most of these fixtures don't move me much one way or the other. They strike me as serviceable, if a bit fussy. But that's strictly my opinion. And don't forget, I'm the guy who advocates surface mount linear fluorescents in kitchens because they do such a great job of lighting up the room without costing an arm and a leg for either installation or operation. :)

Without seeing the room where you're proposing to install these, it's impossible to judge how well they would work. Besides, style is really a very individual matter. I think you're the best person to judge what works best in your home.

If you don't feel comfortable making that decision, maybe it would put your mind at ease to invest some of your lighting budget in a lighting designer's help.
