Gatt,
I see your point about not being unique but I wouldn't say it's "very bad". For one thing, the design might not be unique but if the content is, there will be no impact whatsoever on the success of the site. In fact, a well designed template, even if it is used elsewhere, will take into account the "standards" established over the years and make the user experience a lot more enjoyable than using a unique, usability-impaired template.
This simple piece of advice is worth gold when it comes to using free templates: make it your own. Add components, changes colors, change fonts, mix templates, extend the functionality of the template.
Cheers,
Dylan
