You are not alone in that. Most people here don't seem to like Open Roads either. They change the crease and turn then into Stratoliner clones.
Open Roads can and have always been creased in different ways. A cattleman crease does not an Open Road make. They traditionally came open crown.
ORs and Stratoliners are different hats made on different blocks with different flanging. Changing the crease on an OR does not make it a Strat "clone."
Sent directly from my mind to yours.
