It looks a little plain to me.... Am I wrong?

No, the H-19 is probably the plainest-looking model of Diamond Disc. This one has the earlier sheaves/fleur-de-lis grill. $150 is fine if it's working and has a good diamond. It's a common, basic machine, a fine choice for a first Diamond Disc. However, the Chippendales are typically only $100 or so more and give you a larger horn and more storage.

I have one too - very plain which is actually why I love it. Mine has the later grille.
