No, not really. I mean, I did enjoy the eye-candy but idea wise, I thought it was too unnecessarily mystic.

I can't really see it that way.
In practice, I'm too much of an anti-realist to even consider his stance as worth being pursued. There's a reality behind the apparent/sensible world -- and that's the true world?
Sooner or later the platonic world either becomes a useless picture of reality or just a twisted piece of imagination taken to be true.
