indeed.. im a UC hardcore fan myself.. gunpla and anime alike..
i hate the CE 'anime' but not the mechas

i still collect the HGseeds and such
some mechas frm seed hv thier own distinct original feel to them.. and strike and the astray are among them.. the designs are marvelous and somewhat a contra to the UC universes' military feel.
We just hv to see SEED as the 'child' of the UC universe. Children hv some or more the traits of their parents rite? so whtas wrong with CE hving copying the UC then? hell the initial reason they created seed is to attract newer generations to the gundam universe, a generation that just like flashy graphics and lotsa explosion, compared to the gloomy-space-opera-like UC universe.. and they hv managed to do so.
soooo as gunpla lovers, and modellers, we shouldnt be fighting over which is the coolest which is the rip-off and such, but stay true to the gunpla universe and collect the models as u see fit.. cheers!
Seed is nice but not Seed Destiny
IMO, SD is totally a rip off
Seed has cool Gundam design (like Strike, Justice)
while MS in SD are mostly upgrade ver. of Seed MS
