I am okay with cutaways on guitars, either Florentine or Venetian. Most of my acoustic guitars don't have cutaways, and that's okay, too. As LJGuitar commented, after a while, I don't see the cutaway; I feel and hear the guitar.
From an artistic standpoint, in general I have not liked the looks of a dreadnought with a cutaway, and yet the modified dreadnought design with Florentine cutaway, to me, looks very alluring.
