Oh yeah, I remember those conversations!
We compromised on this by getting some nice BDI racks.
(They are quality made racks, that have nice lines.)
They have both metal/glass and wood/glass racks. We went with the wood, as we both liked the cherry wood, as it was not too dark.
I went with the Ventura line for both racks that we have, which is no longer in production, but it is quite similar to the axis line. (They look nice, but do require a bit of regular dusting. I get quite a few compliments on them actually.)
BDI - Axis
My two cents worth anyway.
Good luck with the WAF!
