I don't have anything to add, but I'll be interested to see what others post. I like having one powder to load 9mm, .40, and .44 with. To date I have been using 231, but I've been seeing BE-86 for great prices, and a little research shows that if I wanted to pump my light loads up a bit, it would work well for that. Seems like a good do-all type pistol powder, if reviews are good, I may have to pick some up and give it a try.
