I agree with these two brands and your opinion. I love the way the Oliso raises itself up off the table after a few seconds but that doesn't justify the price difference in my opinion. My BnD actually was a refurbished one from Big Lots. I did try to get one that had a longer time preset before it shut off but wanted one that shut it self off as a saftey thing. There are so many other things you can spend that extra money on.
