I agree with the OP. The way they are now, egis are pretty underwhelming, really, not only because of their itty bitty size but their design as well. Buuut I think making them bigger would help a bit at least, and I don't mean XI's Diabolos big, but being about the size of a hume or so would help them look slightly better at least... something like these that some people in the beta forums made some time ago
