A bit off my current tangent, who can honestly say the one on the left looks
better?

Personally I prefer the stud-free version of this model, but I prefer the
studded beams from the standpoint of a non-Technic builder. Studded technic
beams are a great SNOT element in normal bricks-and-plates construction, either
by sticking the studs of a brick into the holes of the beam to get a 90 degree
orientation, by using half pins to get 90 degrees pointing the other way, by
sticking two studded beams side by side with pins but with the studs pointing in
opposite directions to get 180 degree orientation, or by using a pin to pivot 2
beams 1 against another to get about any angle orientation, or to make something
that can swing (e.g. a drawbridge etc). Studless beams are fine for some
applications, but for me they get tossed in my bin of very-rarely-used parts.
