The new templates look great, but I'm concerned about leaving out the full recipe and costs. When you look at items, the build path that leads up to that item is an essential part of that item's information. Having to open up new pages to check the costs and recipes of its components is a step backwards in usability. So if the full recipe tree with costs of each component could be added to the new template (Emptylord's?), that would make it perfect. Otherwise, I would much rather have the information and forgo the prettier layout.

Also, the Sheen poll is a great idea, but I hope that the results won't be taken at face value. Option 2 and the original layout are fairly similar (most notably, both have the full recipes listed), and the combined votes for those two options are currently greater than the votes for Option 1. Just something to keep in mind - I'm not going to pretend to know other people's preferences or why they voted the way they did, but it's entirely possible that a vote between Option 1 and the original layout without Option 2 as an option would have the original layout ahead in votes. One factor that might be contributing to this is the problem of full recipe trees and component costs... I know that I wouldn't have hesitated to vote for Option 1 if it had the full recipe listed.
