I for one would snap up as many sets as I could with column capitals. It's
definately something that nearly every town and city has; Greco-Roman
architecture. It makes for a nice touch. Though I'm satisfied with the
solution that I came up with in my own entry to the contest, some variation
would be nice. Unfortunately, the only answer to that is either piece
modification, or TLC creation.
