I would use the Eboni in BO due to its more neutral color.   The UC MK I
would consider seriously only for the very darkest areas where the color is
masked.

I would definitely use MIS PKN3 for BO glossies.  (Do not call MIS about
this yet.  It's not yet on the web site.)

For BO, I think it probably still will be the case -- Eboni for BO, MK for
best dmax where color doesn't matter much.
