Beauty in simplicity. You don't want a bike looking like something Mr Gadget would ride.
I don't think the suspension is critical to my everyday riding experience, which also happens to be why I would want to lock it out. Most of my riding is going to be done on roads/paved trails and pea gravel trails (rails to trails project) which is why I want the hybrid, less resistance/more speed on the roads (tire design) and sturdy enough for the rough patches in the trails. There won't be any stopping to deflate tires, so a flip of the switch when I'm about to hit the gravel trail is pretty ideal.
Go go gadget bike!
