Make MMA more like PA?

As both a member and mere user of both sites, I have noticed that while MMA has great content thus far, its layout is much less friendly when compared to PA, and other sites. The center section of the screen (where the actual content is) is relatively small. I love the idea of having a metal-centered PA-type site, but the easy layout of PA is missing here... Due to the fact that the PA/MMA/JMA family already has the program coding that drives PA (including most popular artists last 24 hours,  top albums of 2011, etc) would it be a big issue to copy that from PA onto here? 

I much prefer the layout here

I like a few features at PA better (the general layout of the member's page, the search function, and a few others), but I generally prefer the layout on MMA/JMA. The front page takes some getting used to, but I like it.

I'm not a major fan of PA's layout personally. I think the MMA/JMA template is a big improvement on the same idea. PA has a few features I wouldn't mind seeing over here though, such as the popular artists part and the biography section in member profiles. 

The one thing off hand I'd take from PA is their search function on the front page.

For MMA and JMA I only have the forums bookmarked. 

Prefer the MMA layout, but I hate purple so I am biased
As to the search, it's great if you know how the band's called, but obviously it's lacking if you only have an album title or if you have pains remembering anything at all like I do.

I like PA because the reviews and album pictures are much bigger than on MMA and JMA. I also like the way the artists are listed on PA as opposed to here, because here they names are all scrunched together and much less pleasing to look at.
