Isn't the voting going to be done such that votes for clone designs will be aggregated? If so, artificially directing people to vote for one of the designs might, in fact, skew the results and rob you of useful information that might be used to improve the final pick. I think it's best right now to let the voting take place without a lot of hoopla. And anyway, in the end, it's Massimo's choice.
