B&W 805 D4, stands

I am seriously considering a pair of B&W 805 D4 speakers and have started to look at stand options. The dedicated B&W stand matches the aesthetics of the speaker and the reviews say that they give a real performance boost. But I also see that Sound Anchors makes a stand particularly for the 805. I once owned a pair of Sound Anchors and they are truly impressive. I don't suppose anyone has directly compared the two stand types with the 805?

I have those stands. They look great but very cheap paint. A small bolt fell onto it when screwing into the speaker. It chipped the paint off and you can see it is micrometer thin.

Sound Anchors uses the blue sorbothane dots as fasteners. They work very well

I have the 805D3 version with the matching stands. They bolt to the bottom of the speaker and are fairly heavy. I was wondering if the Sound Anchors also can bolt to the speaker? I also am using the IsoAcoustics GAIA III feet on the B&W stands, which made a big improvement over the already excellent sound from this combo.
