I have to totally agree! I may be a little bias though since I own one.
I actually think both body styles look just as good, you could always combine the two and make a 69 1/2. There use to be a 69 that ran around St. Louis that had a 70 front clip, it looked pretty damn good that way. From what I was told the car was wrecked when it was a year or two old and the body shop just used a 70 clip.
