I have had a bondtech QR, Bondtech BMG and the BMG x2 as well as a few clones, I ended up designing and printing my own gear housings and just using the gears from them. The Clone gears wear out much faster than the genuine bondtech gears so now I just buy bontech gears and parts.

I have customized my housings to work with the printer design I am working with rather than conforming to the standard Bondtech designs. I highly recommend going dual gear over single gear, you will not regret it.

Just a side note on the BMG x2, I never did get it working to my satisfaction although that was not a reflection on the extruder but more on the E3D Chimera (genuine). I personally cannot recommend the Chimera/Cyclops as a hotend.
