Dave, This may not provide a definitive answer to your question regarding filet brazed BB vs TIG welded, but here's the RBW website's description of MIT Atlantis construction:
"Underneath, the investment-cast Rivendell lugs and custom drawn Silver tubes are the same. All frames are brazed and welded to the highest standards, with samples of each new production passing the rigorous EN tests." Others with more direct knowledge may add to this.
