It's one of those "Different Strokes for Different Folks" type of thing.

My radios are in racks for use.  It's like those that buy a pick up 
truck and do everything possible to keep it real "pretty".

Mine aren't in the racks for display.  They get used.  If the get a tad 
bit of "rack rash", so be it.  Then again, I'm not taking them in and 
out either.

They only come out when they need attention.

My $0.02 worth.
