There are several other directors who are on par with his visual style.

His previous work is a good enough resume to prove that he can handle the genre as well as, or better than, most of his contemporaries.
You never know. I have faith that he could put out another good sci-fi film, but he could also churn out something terrible, even with his success with Alien and Blade Runner (the former being my Number One favorite film). As I had said before, most of the ideas he had talked about during the production of Alien were horrible.
