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 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.

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

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.
