On paper, the BF20 looks better. I rather suspect based on the price that it is not actually up to those specs. There are machines, such as those made by Wabeco, Prazi, and EMCO Maier, that employ superior designs and can get more performance for less weight than the Chinese counterparts. A Wabeco F1210E, for example, is a more capable machine than the X3, at about 3X the price but somewhat less weight. Not sure if the Vario line could be in that league, considering the price.
