I like this topic. The aesthetics of transformers is interesting. I would think that the manufacturers gave this a fair degree of thought and attention. After all, looks sell. Look at today’s car commercials. They tell you nothing about the car; they’re just selling image
I guess because I had a ZW as a kid it remains my favorite. However, due to the real control look I’ve always wanted a KW. I never got one since I’ve generally had enough power with having up to three ZW’s.
I like the LW so much that I use it as my work table power supply. I am attracted to the lighted green lens on the handle.
I did get an MTH Z4K in part due to its “ZW” look. Of course, technically it’s wonderful.
I think that a certain concept of my “likes” come from my like of Art Deco design. The ZW and LW both have this.
But, the bottom line is an electron is still just an electron. ( I know that in this day if inclusiveness I need to say that neutrons and protons are both cool too).
