I am no expert on both companies, but I have done my own fair share of reading about them. One important thing to remember is that these company owners are friends and will stick up for each other, no matter what. It is good to know that there are "gentleman" in business these days. I own the BCMA 40, just so you understand my perspective. I believe that Brillelli balances the crankshaft, but I don't know that BCMA doesn't. I don't know how much impact this has on performance, but my BCMA engine runs very smoothley. I have no doubt the Brillelli does, as well. The BCMA engine has an auto advance ignition, which should give a smoother throttle response than the fixed timing C&H ignition, used by Brillelli. I have heard many people say that fixed timing works just fine on anything under 50CC. Above that, it gets more criticle. You will notice, for example, that Brisson uses linkages on their engines with C&H ignitions, to turn a ring, to change the timing through changes in throttle.

I think that my brief explanation kind of shows that it is "6 of one , and a half dozen of the other". One feather in the cap of Brillelli, is that they have their own machine shop and can custom make parts for you.

Customers of both companies get to know the owners as friends, and will be very loyal to them. All I can say is that we have a good thing going, with both Adam and Scott. I have talked to Adam on a couple occasions, and enjoyed the conversations. With all I have heard of Scott, I almost want to buy something from him, just to get to know him. How is that for staying on the fence???

I know there are others out there with more information. Please feel free to correct me if I have anything wrong. I won't take it personally!!!
