Dont know much about the blends, but I have a friend who rides the Filthy Riches and loves em. They seem durable as hell (he has torn part of an edge out, cut the afflicted piece out and threw some epoxy in there and they are still going strong). Thats about all the input I have, as I haven't been on either, I only know he told me he loves em and was trying to get me to buy some haha.
