Last year when I was stationed in Yuma, AZ a friend of mine suggested scorpion and it seems that I looked only for that because it was all I knew, as far as I can tell they have a great sound to them but even at 23 years old I have an appreciation for something that looks like it grew there and Scorpion seems a little out of place. How it looks has great value to me as well.
Bear in mind that ANY custom alteration is based on personal "taste" and is very subjective. There's not much point in spending thousands of dollars on custom parts that nobody notices because they "look like they grew there".
I initially did not care for the appearance of any other slip-on besides the Two Brothers, which are pretty unique, and closest to the profile of the OEM mufflers (I'm talking length here). The "other" slip-ons with the extended tailpipe just didn't look right, but I only had photos to rely upon. However, once my Scorpions were on and I saw them "in real life", they look great. Carbon fiber is the only way to go on an FZ6, in my (subjective) opinion...it just looks right. Even on the blue ones.

Replacement carbon fiber parts are always more expensive than the "original" material. It's what Ducati relies on for cash flow.
