You could have a holy war about this issue and end up spending all your time
arguing between yourselves about what *you feel* users want and how to
present it to them.
Or you could *find out* what your users really want/need and then test ways
of delivering it by doing some task analysis and quick n' dirty usability
testing.
I highly recommend Steve Krug's book "Don't Make me Think! A Common Sense
Approach to Web Usability" ISBN 0-7897-2310-7:
