I've had escrow with Blazed 2 times now and they were extremely favorable experiences. Your asking us to compare 2 members of the form as if they are equal when one has a proven track record with other notable members of this forum and the other has been inactive and hasn't made a trade since 2014.
Just my 2 Satoshis.
