Yes, the value of function cannot be underestimated. It is very important to be able to tell pieces apart from each other, and when all the pieces look like people in similar clothing, as James Spratt's pieces generally do, it can be hard to tell the pieces apart. My own preference is for something more abstract, because that makes it easier to tell different pieces apart. But I do consider function and beauty to both be important, and I like to see both in a piece set.
