The Aesthetics that look better are a matter of personal opinion. Whilst you believe that it looks better with the bridge through the station, Jake may not believe so.
I personally think that both your way and Jake's have their charm, there's nothing to say there couldn't be a bridge underneath the glass and hidden behind the station building in Jake's shot for example
And remember, OTTD is a game, let your imagination run wild, with all the graphics sets that are out there, you could combine different parts of stations (and station sets) and come up with a whole new design, you don't just have to base it off the real world
I care a lot for aesthetics. When i see screens with the default stations used for industrial service, it almost makes me puke. Sorry to those who do that, i respect you.
Emperor Jake's screen is really impressive. It's way bigger than mine, mainly because it needs functionality. I try to combine functionality and aesthetics, but it's hard sometimes. The two terminis you see on my screenshot are 5 tile long - this is the standard station length for me. When using two Finnish Pendolinos or one Swiss ETR 470 'Cisalpino', the stations are 6 tile long.
However, when i use Dutch station, i try to reflect reality - this explains the bridge through the station, the Stichthage, the Departurehall, etc.
