I'm willing to acknowledge that AIB might be a more solidly-engineered product - for twice as much, though ($149 more).
Beauty of the market system. There are customers who think it's worth $299 to have a larger heatsink, there are customers who think it's only worth $149 to convert their angel eyes to hyperwhite. Thanks to EAS and Weisslicht, both customers can be satisfied!
Also, that's the H8 Version for E92 - the version I posted was for E90
On a side note, though, we at Jlevi are consistently impressed by the products coming out of EAS. Good work, boys!
