Quick release on FG

I'm going to use a loose ball vintage Dura Ace hub to build a front wheel with a Mavic Open Pro rim to replace the aero rimmed Origin8 wheels on my FG. I don't mind not having a quick release and feel secure with the track nuts I currently have. I don't plan on replacing the axle and going to track nuts, but may use a Zipp allen screw track skewer. I like the clean look and it fits with the minimalist aspect of FG bikes.

I assume using track nutted front hubs is mostly a cosmetic feature or a fashion trend attempting to equate fixed gear road bikes with track bikes. Am I missing anything about this or is this just a matter of preference? What do you like?
