As for the 105 cranks, posting photos of them doesn’t really change my mind about their aesthetics. They still look fine to me. I actually think it would be quite hard to make a truly ugly crank. What feature of ithis one do you find so ugly? Or is it just because it doesn’t look retro?
Because retros look better, they're asymetrical, chunky like walmart bike cranks, they're ugly, don't have a clean look, funny looking. I'm not trying to change your mind, I'm voicing my opinion.
