In this comparison, the BN is 2.4% more expensive. Also, although the BN is not marked as being H&A, it may also turn out to be H&A as many AGS000 often exhibit varying degrees of H&A pattern (get out those idealscopes!!). In any event, the visual diference between the 2 is probably minimal so they both look like winners to me.

That kind of illustrates my point. Why spend more money to get a stone at BN that isn't KNOWN to be an H&A when you can spend less money and get a known H&A stone. Being that H&A commands a premium, we can then infer that if the GOG stone wasn't an H&A, it would price even lower and would make the BN price even more inflated.
While it's true that their signature series do have the reports, a good bulk of their stones don't, and that's what I ran into when I was trying to buy.
I'm not saying BN isn't a possible option.....it's silly for anyone to disregard a viable option out of hand. But the general claim by bling that BN product is superior......that's a stretch, and a false one at that.
