That leaves 5%. Some of us are the 5%.

Cost and value be damned, the flat four simply looks better to some. And, period-correct inserts are important to some collectors. Value and hype aren't always a factor or consideration. If someone prefers it then they prefer it. It's no more complicated than that.
