It's all subjective, I guess, but I think the entire dash design is great.

FWIW, I have over a quarter of a million miles on C6s with HUDs, and about 1500 miles on this, and I can say that if you have (and use) a HUD you would not even notice this.
I never even noticed "the hump" until this thread. The only part I noticed is the stitching did not "transfer" to the left side.

I am still learning how to shift with manual transmission (not my first stick shift car) and having the gear number show on the HUD is very useful. On my almost 1,000 mile trip home I only looked at the dash to see what my miles to empty was and to find out if I was using 4 or 8 cylinders. I will probably never bother looking at how many cylinders are working after today and I probably will not bother checking how far to empty unless I take another long distance trip. Know distance to empty helps me plan food and "P" stops. If I did not need to check oil pressure, temperature, etc I would probably never look at the dash and rely sole on the HUD
EDIT
Now I have to go and look at the stitching tomorrow

Pretty trick and useful as it winds quickly as you all know.
