I just wouldn't get a pup I didn't like the look of so looks are important I guess to me but what I take as a good looking dog mite be a ugly fecker to someone else so guess it's each to there own 

Looks don't matter but the trained eye has a good idea on confirmation, leg knuckle, feet, length of back, etc..... can make a big difference on how a dog performs physically.

Best looking lurcher I ever owned had barely a tooth in his head, ears in tatters, 1/4 of his tail missing, a toe missing but to anyone that new him and seen him work he was a stunner.

I get what you're saying bill.  'better looking' is probably a misnomer, better, sounder build etc, be more accurate.  But all things being equal, most would choose the one which is more 'attractive' as it were
