I realize your reference to "crude looking" is a personal expression, but I don't normally hear references to clean, uncluttered design as being crude.
I don't know if it is still displayed but at one time MOMA (Museum of Modern Art) considered the AR-XA worthy of including in their gallery.
As a personal expression I consider the AR to be one of the best looking tables of all time, and I've been in this hobby since the '60s. By comparison the Stromberg-Carlson is not bad but not as appealing to my eye (based on your photo, I don't recall ever seeing one). Strokes and folks I guess.
