I love all the Cross-Z designs you're going to / already have seen, so I'm very biased here, but I love how the suits do have that differentiation. They don't make Banjou just seem like Build's sidekick, he is his own hero for his own reasons, and the suit design reflects that. Especially since it still looks, especially on the legs and undersuit, like a Build design.
And yeah, Cross-Z Charge isn't the prettiest of suits, but it grew on me. It's kinda ugly, and sleek, with none of the build-y-ness of the early Build and Cross-Z suit, but that partially feels like the point. Its a different system, especially given what I've just realised about future developments, so to me it makes sense it looks incomplete. Add to that the Sclash Driver's origins, and how the suit is a base layer with additions, and it even seems much like a mass-produced thing today. I was reading a thing on the 2010 redesign of the Daleks a couple of weeks ago, and it mentions how they wanted to get away from the "industrial" look of the 2005 era, and more towards a sleek, plastic aesthetic to seem more futuristic. And while the jelly gunk kinda disrupts that (and is definitely the weirdest part of the design), the Cross-Z (going off the toy and how similar their designs are) and Grease suits share that kind of design philosophy.
