till we can have much higher resolutions in the millionsxmillions range anyways... yes...
I like Gladiator better. I even have a set to match it with Gladiator Force and Lax. Like you you have like vamp+giga gradients with marine force and orc realx. Then, yeah, it would look pretty messy. But if you have a good texture set with it you can make any color (cheap or expensive) look good.
