Your appearance concern is the same for either solution.Your choice boils down to mass and that relates to the compliance of the shelves and the isolation devices you choose. Putting a heavy component on a light platform is one good way to avoid introducing another mechanical time constant into the support system, but it makes your shelf resonances more important.
Damping the shelf resonances is difficult. One way to do this is to place the 1.5-inch slab of MDF on a layer of Deflex rubber (partsconneXion) directly on the shelf.
If you still don't like MDF, look in the off-price department stores (Marshall's, Ross) for end-grain butcher-block cutting boards. These are much less resonant than the typical across-grain boards.
