Hi, if I had to pick between the two, it would be the Uggie. A classier gun, nice engraving, decent wood and IMO a better feel. Just my opinion mind you. True a BLE is simpler, but there is something special about a Round Body SLE. I wouldn't worry about the quality factor, they are about the same.

There are plenty other choices, but you narrowed down what you want, so we should stick to your choices.

Good Luck!
