Nice, simple, and elegant. I wouldn't mind having one of these sitting 
on my desk just to look at when I'm tired of working on something. Good 
choices for the RGB spotlights...not too brightly colored, but gives a 
hint of color to the scene.
I'd try reducing the diameter of the wire on the vertical supports and 
top ring, it looks too heavy compared to the "orb". And maybe position 
the top ring lower on the orb. Maybe use a hexagon pattern instead of 
checker for the floor, keeping a 3-way symmetry. Render it at a higher 
resolution and it'd make a nice desktop picture.
