Yes, I would say a Badger is different enough for it to be noticeable. Whether the difference is worth the price is another matter. You really need to bite the bullet and see for yourself.

Yes the badger has been held in very high esteem/romanticized by many for it's characteristics. I went the boar and badger route and have nothing against either of them, they both work well for me. Now I am basically a synthetic convert and don't see myself going the boar/badger route in the near future. It is all a matter of what you personally like and is best fro you.
