Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive powerhouse, absolutely not for the faint of heart. If you're a fan of bold rose-ouds with nuclear performance, Black to Black is a must-try - just be warned it can fill a room and some find it overbearing.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Beast mode performance and a high-end vibe for peanuts, IF you can get past the rough opening and you're well-versed in Middle Eastern rose-oud combos. Otherwise, you might just get a headache.
