But Proline distributes BOTH Vertex and BK, correct?
They are aimed at entirely different markets. You don't usually cross-shop a Honda Accord with a Mercedes S-class, which by the way is a very apt comparison: they're both cars just like the Vertex and BK are both skimmers, but they are in entirely different price leagues.
The modern Accord has gobs of room and plenty of power and uses less gas than the S-class (who needs a V8/V10/V12 nowadays anyway?). Therefore, why would anyone buy an S-class over an Accord? The same reason why there's a market for the BK - the rush of the massive engine like the power of the Red Dragon pump; the granite almost Fort Knox feel when you shut the door like the granite almost Fort Knox feel of the half-cm-thick cell cast acrylic; the Teutonic snob appeal of both.
Ask anyone who markets any luxury brand - people do not buy luxury items out of need and certainly not out of logic. It's a far more emotional decision.
