Let me put it shortly.
With 6 launchers, the raven can easily hit 1200 DPS at 25-30km. 8 launchers would make this 1600 DPS. We call this overpowered.
Plus you get a damage bonus on top of your launchers, which makes it a lovely effective 7.5.
Edit: re-skimmed over OP. So instead of effectiveness you want aesthetics? 8 launchers wastes more missiles than an effective 8.
Double edit: This post is pretty scattered. I'd always like to see another missile battleship (amarr or minnie), but this may lead to a balanced minmatar BS, so beware.

WARNING ! Absurd demand incoming !
Since we're talking absurdly overpowered, how about a Khanid Marauder, based on the Abaddon hull ? 
You know...
8 launchers,
5% armor resists and -5% cap recharge time on BS skill,
+5% torpedo damage and +7.5% armor repper effectiveness on Marauder skill ?
Or switch the vargur to be phoon-layout-with-more-damage-and-marauder-tank. Please.

K smartass, you want to use more ammo and highslots to achieve the same DPS? Fine with me. More DPS? Not a chance.

Raven does equivalent damage to a abaddon using 6 weapons where the abaddon needs eight.
Raven uses less ammo.
Abaddon has a sexier high-rack to look at while going through more ammo/capacitor.'
You have the added bonus of two high-slots for offlined smartbombs...
What are you complaining about, tbh, I'd like my abaddon changed so the guns get a bigger bonus/remove two turret hardpoints so I can have offlined smartbombs.
But then you can't make a rainbow abaddon. This is like half the appeal of the ship.

It isn't that I don't agree with you but to state it's because you "effectively have more launchers than 6" holds exactly zero water in my book. Those 8 slot gun boats? Many of them have either ROF or damage bonuses meaning they effectively have more than 8 guns.
Yeah, I know, I thought about that after I posted but decided to leave it. When compared 1 v 1, torp launchers would be very overpowered. So they're limited on missile boats.
This also explains why cookie cutter phoon fits don't have any gyros.
PS. The new Raven > Phoon
