Well, it all depends on your design goals, of course. It seems that for you esthetics are the most important criterion, while for others naturalism is. It's improbable that a genuine Romance lang would have so few irregular forms. But, of course, if you're not striving for a naturalistic conlang, then there's nothing wrong with regular forms. :-) -- "There's no such thing as 'cool'.
