Sadly I do not own the BSB, although i have a few of the older pirate sets. It was a hard choice but I voted BB for it's superior coloration, cool minifigs and sense of good 'ol stereotyped pirateyness. in stock form this ship may lose against the BSB, but add a couple more cannons and it would come out far and away on top. The design is quite good cosidering how few peices it has as well.
