I've had the clamp snap into on cheaper mounts, more than once. Also had the edge snap off the bevel of the clamp. Several dented scope tubes as well. If you're happy with the less expensive mounts, why ask the question? You're mind is apparently already made up and nothing BKL/Sportsmatch users tell you will change your mind. BKL have served me much better than Sportsmatch, but lesser stuff has just broken, or has marred my scopes.
