I dunno, I think Edison's design is spot on. People remember him as a revolutionary inventor for bringing us things like the light bulb. Thing is, he didn't invent most of the things he put out, he obtained patents of inventions from other people and modified them, usually sacrificing efficiency for profitability, with the DC electrical system we use being a prime example of a modification of Tesla's AC system. So, Tesla is Fate-ified by having domination over electricity, while Edison has electrical tubes on his shoulders and a form that is barely even human.

It's kind of like Sasaki Kojirou in a way, the man we see isn't the actual Sasaki Kojirou because he didn't exist, but there did exist someone similar enough that went nameless in history to take up his skills as a Heroic Spirit. There isn't someone fitting like that for what Edison is known for, so we get this abomination instead. That's my take on it anyway.
