I'm actually not too sure about this myself. Whenever I try to build a
model at this scale, it ends up being extremely heavy if I add the
"skin". While the "full body" can look nice, it also makes it almost
impossible to make a proper suspension, due to the weight. This is the
reason why I went for the "Formel" look, BTW. A racing car is usually
quite sleek, and can be kept lightweight even with a full body.
I'm actually a fan of the "open framed" technic look. If done properly,
I think it can look very nice, and it keeps the weight down and you can
see all the internal workings.
The bottom line is probably that this is a matter of taste. :-)
