MXR Bass Chorus Deluxe vs EHX Small Clone

I have had a EHX Small Clone (the original large one) on my board on and off for a while now, and playing in cover bands there is a need for Chorus to faithfully replicate some songs. The small clone just seems to have the right amount of top end and body/shimmer to it's tone. Using the one switch and the rate knob you seems to always be able to find a setting you like.

The small Clone however does seem to pop from time to time when switch on/off and does have a small amount of noise.

In order to fix these to minor gripes and save on PB real estate, I picked up a MXR BCD. I like it. It's a solid chorus, but to be honest, I'm not blown away. The rate seems to ramp up from waaay too slow, it is a little noisy with the x over disengaged, but engaged it is really quiet, but seems to lack impact.

Am I being too picky here? am I just not getting it? Is there something else out there I would be happier with. such as a Bass Clone or an Aguilar Chorus?

Interested to hear other people thoughts on this comparison.
