Although I have seen some lovely pieces, I personally, am not the least bit interested in having anything drillium on any of my bikes. That is not to say it is wrong, only stating that I am not a fan. In my mind, I do not want a single component to draw immediate or too much attention. I like to see the whole bike and then start looking for detail. Drillium immediately draws one's attention, in my opinion...
As for a value increase or decrease, my guess would be increased value to most people. Needless to say, as stated by others, the drillium must be nicely done and not done to the point where it will negatively impact safety.
This does not make me holier than thou, though!-)
