Both of them suck. BSG is where it's at. It's aesthetics. They look nicer. it's more immersive. It's more pleasing to the eye. And to be fair quite often the super nice editions of things are things that have been out before. War of the Ring and Small World are good examples of that. And in other cases (like cerebria on KS) they have the rule book out and you can read that to decide if you like a game or not. As for the unpainted minis.. .still more immersive. Are they needed for basically themeless Euros? No. Does it add some extra theme to a 4x game or a dungeon delve? Absolutely.
