When buying used speakers are cosmetics important to you?

I have an opportunity to buy a pair of used Totem Element Metal speakers that retail at $20k for $5k.  They are flawless from a performance perspective but have  cosmetic imperfections such as surface scratches that are not visible from the listening position, thus the price.  
How important are cosmetics to your purchase of used speakers?

Not to derail this but I have several tektons and consider them the best bang for the buck. They may not win the beauty contest but several major manufactures are putting Eric Alexander's array in their  speakers.thats how good that design is. Momentum is mass x velocity and because they are small and light they are quick start and stop transients. Fast responsive like ribbon speakers. Enjoy the music.
