Borchardt is a different type and is a different play. Due to its transaction volume, although being a very expensive pistol, Borchardt has ballpark value. Mars?? No, too few transactions to setup a ballpark.

From this perspective, Borchardt value is very predictable, but Mars is not. Mars has more value uncertainties. More risk. Looking from another side, if have $$ and interest to buy one of them, and both are available, Mars should have priority, due to it's much harder to come. Borchardt can wait. Of course, this only applies when you have interest in it.

Borchardt is beautiful, Mars is not. I'd love to own the former, the latter - not so much!
