It is beefy and not particularly attractive, IMO. I've used it and it's effective, has a slightly longer quill than most, the faceplate is convenient but it is fugly.
Aesthetics are in the eye of the beholder but for me the beauty of a quill stem is its thin and graceful lines.
Lots of Cinellis came in black and those are very ice looking.
