I like this one the best. The major gray/red choice is good, but I think
that a different choice of secondary colors and some selection of
styling elements to integrate into the rest of the page would help. I
don't like these two greens with the red and gray. Not sure about the
amount of red text either--might be better with just red headings?
Carrying over some red is good, though. Muffin and salt and pepper
shaker image seems a little off. Doesn't immediately connect to the
"choices" theme, and isn't particularly punchy.

Hate the color scheme. The crop circle is cute, but I'm concerned with
how much screen real estate it takes up.

Color scheme doesn't work for me.

Big no to colors here too... I don't think the feeling of having a
framed section in the middle would carry over to a working site well.

My second choice of the new designs from a visual standpoint. I think it
might be hard to get all the information into this format on a working
site, though.
Since somebody proposed that the current page isn't that bad...

Too pale, not dramatic or powerful enough, but shares the three-column
layout that I think works well. Doesn't scale to large fonts as well as
Simon's design (which scales up nicely). But the only new design I like
better is Simon's.
Like a few other people have mentioned it's very important to me that I
can increase the font size. My laptop monitor is too high resolution to
work well with most sites (and my eyes) and I'm constantly hitting ctrl-+.
