Very nice review, Bruce. That watch is a superb companion to your Datejust 116200.

I had the same dilemma choosing between the BLNR and Explorer II (216570). I finally went with the Explorer as I didn't care for the BLNR's PCLs ... ironically I wear the Explorer on an Isofrane strap, so the bracelet has been a non-issue.
In your case, perhaps it boils down to the following questions:
(1) do you want/need a date display (and cyclops)?
(2) would the second timezone function have any real benefit for you?
(3) do you prefer a watch that tells everyone it's a Rolex, or one that is more understated about that fact?
Go with your heart, and don't sweat it too much: you can't really go wrong with either model.
