Clear plastic balls are uglier than their standard polyester balls when they start tracking up since they get hazy. They also seem to "hook" more than regular plastic balls and other than that, the BW spare doesn't have a more dynamic core than a Maxim, so they're just more expensive to have and keep up, IMHO.
