Did anyone see these from smith & noble? They look pretty neat in the catalog with different types of materials available. Here's the website version:

They certainly look nice as displayed, but ultimately I fall on the side of wanting my window treatments to be basically invisible (or at least very unobtrusive) when fully opened. I've opted for cellular shades (Hunter Douglas Duettes) for most of the house, and Smith and Noble roller shades in one window for light control. You really don't notice them when fully up.
Good luck with your decision.
