The BSB was simply available for a longer time and it shows up a lot more
often for auction. The SES, though newer, was offered for sale for maybe
half the number of years that the BSB was. It shows up in general in better
shape than a BSB, adding to the price.
Which one is better is largely a matter of taste, but the SES is clearly the
rarer of the two.
