I don't, but that's ok!  The ones currently offered by DS are rather... busier than yours:

If you look at the top pic, you can see the vertical bars are only ½ a tube, so in effect they are ornamental.

Edit...sorry, the horizontal bars, when fitted to the bike, not the vertical bars  ::)

Ah-so!  The entire "web" structure within the outside tubing is indeed half-round - horizontal and vertical, I think.  I initially thought you meant all of the tubing.

I wonder if those extra half-round bits would do anything at all if called upon to help provide protection in any kind of fall.  I think yours look better; less is more to my eye...

I don't think the half round bits will do anything at all in a drop, that why there is no need for them there. Yes, I like my basic design ones.
