I'm with you on this, I also have the original Royal silver ones and they are much nicer than this. These reminds me a lot of Fractal's front panel on their Meshify cases ^_^
I have the OG silvers too, and I find these don't look *that* much different. Any design elements on the sides of RAM tend to get lost in most builds anyway. That weird hex element might not be all that noticeable once it's installed.
Actually like these as much as the original. I think the looks head on don't look as good but in a case you won't notice and the dozens of RGBs we have no might reflect off these nicely. Which I guess may or may not be a good thing.
