I saw your post last night, Cap'n...and decided to mull it over for a bit before responding.
I see, however, several have beten me to it. 
So, I can only echo what's been said here...Service, price, and performance.
My SPE-40, once run in for 30-40 flights, REALLY began to shine, and flew my GP 25% Yak exceptionally well in all regimes. Only TWICE, and those the fault of a poorly designed fuel system (my own fault, in other words) did it EVER deadstick on me. At ~ $300 to your door, firewall-ready, it's the same cost as an OS 1.60, and provides SIGNIFICANTLY more power.
And finally...service.
Forget "within this industry"...Adam works out of a book on service that few in ANY industry seem to have read. Adam understands that the decision to grant him our custom represents a significant commitment of more than just money. We are entrusting our airplanes, our enjoyment of the hobby, and indeed our most valuable resource...our TIME...to him and his product. Adam provides the kind of service that makes that decision a wise one.
Look back through this thread. You will not find a SINGLE incident of ANYONE saying "Man, this engine isn't worth the money, I'm not buying another one." And keep in mind..this IS the net after all, where the lot of us are EXTREMELY willing to say just that about a product...in public...and move on to another supplier.
Yes, you'll find people who've had problems. And you'll also find those same people saying "Ah, problem fixed this way, engine's good now." Yes, you'll find people whose engines aren't performing correctly...note how those people follow up with "I talked with Adam, and _____ is being done."
Now, clearly, one could very easily send a Zenoah to RCIGN1, and have him perform his magic on it. (In fact, I'm DOING so next week). Zenoahs have a superb reputation for reliability, and RCIGN1 has a superb reputation as well. (Otherwise I wouldn't be sending him my G-62...I'd be on the phone with Adam begging him to build be a 60cc class engine ) So, I certainly won't suggest that BCMA is the "only" option, or that other options don't have equally significant features to reccomend them.
But I will say this:
Adam and his engines EARN your business...and that, cap'n, is rare enough in this world.
