What's everyone's opinions on the textured vs smooth horns debate? Segmented vs gradient?

I prefer texture myself, since pretty much nothing that grows naturally is completely smooth, so I put bumps near the base of my Aradia horns (like deer horns have). For myself, I really like how it looks, but I had one friend comment that it looked like the texture of a sex toy. (??) I don't really have any idea of how to respond to that, or what to do about it, though. Any suggestions? Thoughts? Opinions?

Pic is the best I have of the detail, sorry. I have another one that's better (in terms of image quality and not being cropped from one corner of it) but it's taken from the front, so you can't see my horns completely.
