Putters - Cleveland VP?

[RussianCarl]

I am in the hunt for a new putter and I can't seem to decide which I like more. Right now my eye is set on the Cleveland VP line mainly due to the awesome alignment aid. I tried it out in the store and I found that I liked the look of the black model with insert, however I preferred the feel of the milled version.

So, which one of these factors is more important? Also, are milled putters really that much more accurate? Do they last longer? I guess I am looking for some pros and cons either way to help me make this decision. Or, conversely, some other putter suggestions.

And finally - do these alignment aids really work? It felt unnatural in the store to hold the putter in such a fashion, but it sank a few putts. Thoughts?

Thanks

IMO Feel is more important. Then looks, then brand.

I just bought the VP5 mallet style and used it over the weekend, my putting was much improved and had a tremendous feel. I really think the alignment feature is a tremendous help.
