I always thought it was good stuff, but am beginning to wonder now.
Any thoughts?
And bare in mind, I'm not trying to defend BHI or promote them in any way, just want to get educated from some Professionals.

First search, then post.
In short, BHI makes most of their gear (actually other people's designs they copied) in overseas sweatshops, like Vietnam, of substandard materials.
The stuff I have seen has consistently fallen apart, did not fit, or failed early.
To me, that is unsat.
