I agree with CaptainJack. We are used to a trend toward sleekness because, as a species, this whole technology thig is pretty new to us. For a galaxy-wide society thousands of years old sleek vs. utilitarian would come and go like fashion according to the needs of that particular age. It would also vary from culture to culture and planet to planet within that massive society of trilliions or quadrillions of beings.
