Blackfire is cheaper per 16oz ($1.75/oz), but it's more expensive if you buy FMJ is 32oz versions. Blackfire is basically Menzerna's new "boutique" brand, hence the smaller bottles (all 16oz) and new fancy labels. The Blackfire SRC polishes are just the Menzerna caramiclear PO10FF's, the Blackfire spray sealant is Menzerna HGAS, etc... Menzerna, due to it's "pro level" status, was kind of a dying brand in the U.S enthusiast market, so they came up with the idea of Blackfire to compete with more boutique type brands (just like Klasse came up with Jeffs Werkstatt, etc...)

So when shopping for Blackfire/Menzerna price compare. The Blackfire polishes seem to be more money, but it's speay sealant (which again, is just HGAS) is way cheaper.
