BMS vs aFe Magnum

So I have read a lot about intakes and from what I keep reading it comes to how much someone wants to spend on an intake. I also see aFe Momentum vs aFe Magnum, but I want to go open box.

Money isn't the issue in this case. Should I go with the aFe Magnum or the BMS intake? Both are open box intakes.

Opinions?

Performance wise is it any different than the BMS?

Probably not. They are pretty much exactly the same

I guess I'm paying for aFe because I like the look of it over the BMS.

Btw, thanks for the hook up!
