lets say you have a list of 15 properties.

You might want to just display the "primary differentiating property"
so now you just display the product_name and primary_property

this is much better than displaying 15 properties in many cases.

Look at the sub_name method in variants:

  def sub_name
    primary_property ? "(#{primary_property.description})" : ''
  end

for example.  Jeans might be:

blue
baggy
bell bottoms
denim

but the primary property would be

36x32 size

because all other variants of this product are (blue, baggy, bell
bottoms and denim)

The properties for a product need to be selected if a customer is going to
buy a product or even browsing. All of these should be in drop down list,
instead of radio buttons (Radio buttons are good for 3-4 size/color runs).

My opinion.
