I have a bike with Klampers and BB7 as well. The klampers I trust more on steep technical downhills and don't feel the same security on the BB7. Although, the bikes are rather different.
While I'd agree with you that klampers may not be worth 3x the cost, I'd have difficulty trusting BB7s with some riding.
