But with traditional straights its as much about the journey as the destination, and the Feather doesn't really offer that.

I am surprise and happy to hear that there is a few Feather fans here. For years I was interested in straight but I was not ready to take the plunge, therefore the Feather was a compromise but my obsession was just sleeping. I have to agree with you there are boring compare the traditional straight but they are still beautiful and the end result is fantastic, I have lost some interest in my Feather but I am keeping it anyway. I don’t know were the obsession is coming from, probably from the fact that I have the feeling to perpetuate a form of art reserved to a minority.
