John, There is a great deal of Morasko and there will, in the end, be not that much Bingol. The fact that there are many crusted individuals is a boon for collectors of most any budget. It may seem like a lot now because the market is "flooded" but that won't be the case in 6 months for sure and more like 2 months more likely.
In the end, it's all about personal taste and priorities. There is no right or wrong answer.

Added to this, that Bingol piece really isn't any harder to find for the buyer than Morasko, and in the long run will probably be worth 50-75% of what you pay now. Howardite fall or not, the price is more than I'm willing to pay. My opinion atleast.
