I don't hate it, I'm just under whelmed. I'll reserve final judgement until I've seen it though.
The fact that they may be affordable doesn't mean they are, or are going to be great artists. It doesn't have the grandeur of the enviromental art of Christos, or even the subtlety of Tracy Emin's bird at Liverpool. It just looks so measly.
You mentioned before we both like Gormley's beach people. I would rather have one piece of world class art than lots of things in our area that don't stand up in the art world nationally, never mind on the international art scene.
