·It's not the modern touches to the New Ed White that bother me, but rather the aesthetics in comparison to the optics of an acrylic crystal.
I think on this we are in fairly close agreement.... I know that you saw my post regarding the crystal on the Seamaster heritage, have you seen the Ed white crystal in person? Many of the issues with the speedy crystal seem to be a result of omega's decision to use a "box" side crystal (on the 1863 and 3861). I can't, and won't, say that the domes Omega is capable of making are perfect, but they are so much better.
The way the crystal on my 1863 interacts with light leaves something to be desired, but man do I absolutely love my 75th anniversary seamaster crystal.
