HKS/Helix 13/Forge BOV

I realize there have been a lot of discussion on this topic, but based on what I have read in previous posts on this subject, the camp is split on installing BOV's on the R56 and for good reasons. But I wanted to find out your opinions on a couple other questions that I had prior to me spending a few hundred dollars on an item that will not have much payback. Here's my questions:

Besides having the turbo spool quicker between shifts using a the BOV does it provide any other advantages than making the psssst sound under WOT, that is already there if an aftermarket CAI is installed?

Does it increase the sound more? If it were between the Helix and HKS, which one would you all go with. Thanks...
