I'm not sure if you're aware, but this mockup is over a year old. Most of the recent mockups and builds around now are taking ideas from this mockup. When it was first released there really wasn't anything like it.

On a personal note I find this mockup far more polished than Shade. Shade has too many small design inconsistencies in terms of spacing etc, too many tacky details for my liking such as showing the discs out the top of the cases and the terrible white tubs for folders. Not to mention what is in my opinion a major design flaw; having the huge menu across the top 3rd of the screen while allowing fanart backgrounds. Having said that for the most part I like Shade a lot and I will be using it when its released.
I think Phyek's mockup is too different to compare on whole with Welo.

Note: I edited out some paragraphs of the quote not relevant to my comments.

Those tacky discs can be turned off. Also, I am not a graphics guy and I had to make folders that I thought worked. The top menu was inspired by boxee, I think its different and unique. Just my opinion.
