The new VAR looks like it might solve the small wheel problem and seems a bit more elegant than the Park. Cyclus makes a VAR knockoff that looks pretty good. Minoura made a simple one (see post 36 in this link) that is still my favorite.

But if you want a work of art, it's hard to beat the Wheel Fanatyk one. Almost worth the price.
