Mike Kone and colleagues are the only bicycle builders legally able to
make a bicycle under the Herse brand. Not sure the importance of who
owns the name.

No. As I said, Herse is where you go for the fancy lugs and other
unique add ons which Boulder avoids to keep prices modest.

Perhaps I am an odd ball, but I find riding bikes with light flexible
tubes and fat supple 650B tires plush, compared with say, a heavy
thick tubed bike meant to move stuff.
You are not an odd ball, but it is true that there is little difference
in ride between a light-tubed 650B Boulder and a light-tubed 650B
Herse. Both would be "plush" if by plush you mean silky riding;
however there is another definition of "plush": *rich, luxurious and
expensive* and there is little doubt which the winner is by that standard.
