It all depends on which is the newest. I personally think BD ones are a tiny bit sharper to start with. I also think they rack better - I have a quite a few of both.
Why do you say the Grivel screws go where the BD ones won't? - surely it's a question of clearing the ice around the placement. If anything there are places the BD's will go where the Grivel's won't because of the smaller BD handle.
