If money was no object, what sort of RMH would you make?
I understand one of the points of the RMH is it's cheap to make and run. But given a large budget how would you make it? Sandstone mass? Triple insulated exhaust pipe? Custom made cast iron bell?

OK;
Sounds fun.  How about huge 5'x5'x thick soapstone slabs?  They would hold heat and look good.
Custom-made cast iron trim with nickel plating... Oh Yeah!
Thick highly polished solid copper "stove-top" for a kettle.
Stainless steel stovepipe or maybe more copper... yeah! that's it hand rolled copper stove pipe would be very cool!
This whole dream RMH could be built in my dream stone/timber frame Queen Anne-style house...
With a full shop facility...

There are so many different designs that it is really hard to pick just one.

Plus no matter which one a person picks it is almost guaranteed that it will be a one of a kind, personalized just for that person.

Here are some at Wheaton Labs:

Though this might be my dream RMH if I were starting from scratch like when we built our house:



I am also leaning toward the one at the Fisher Price House:



If my house were a two-story or with a loft this one:
