Windy, FD has a well known thing about Austers, but, hey, he thinks Maules are good looking.
Maules aren't particular pretty and I have to say that the Austers score higher in that department and are actually quite esthetically pleasing.
Unfortunately that is their only redeeming feature.
They are a pig to handle on the ground, difficult (or impossible) to land well consistently, cramped, anaemic performance, noisy, break down every 2 seconds.
It is not surprising that the purchase price for them is so depressed compared with the offering in the same category (note not class) made by our US cousins; The Cub.
