I haven't seen Evanstar on the boards a lot lately.. she must have other stuff going on right now. I have looked at both species and personally, I'm leaning towards a BCL or a Nicaraguan.. Although from what I've read, the BCLs generally have a better temperament and also tend to stay lighter / thinner.
Another user here, daybreaker, has a BCL that is simply stunning, although it's not an adult. Check out her collection thread and you can see pics.
The information you got about adult lengths from vin russo.. was that off his website or directly from him? I know when I was looking for a first boa, I cited some length information from "the complete boa constrictor" book and many people told me that the "adult" lengths given in the book, althouhg accurate, are simply the adult breeding lengths and that many times the boas can / will exceed those lengths. But again, I'm new to boas also, so can't really say. A good person to contact might be the Diaz brothers from legacy reptiles. I think they maintain breeding groups of both and should be able to give you a definitive answer. They seem to be quite active on facebook, so you might be able to get a fast response if you message them.
