Personally I hate the fact that they have no border but that doesn't bother some people. They don't have the same finish. Tally's have a linoind finsh. I don't remember what the finish Bee's are but I'm pretty sure they are different than Tally's.
Yeah, no borders have pro's and con's. They're awesome if you want to practice getting you DL's square. The finish on the Bee's is much better (IMHO)than the Wynn decks. I have Bee's that are months old and still fan like butter and even after using them several times for the pop-up move in ACR, they still sit flat. The Wynns look really tough and are great for xcm because of the thick casino stock and the hold together really well. As for most magic though, I've found them quite impractical. They DO NOT fan, they're like a deck of 1st ed guardians in that way. They stick together so much it's hard to do an Endnase change. But they cut, shuffle and riffle very cleanly, leaving their only big practicality - gambling routines.
If you're lovin your Bee's whilst praticing and performing magic, get a brick of NORMAL Bee's. If you want to start multi-packet cutting/xcm, grab a brick of Wynns.
Just remember, they are soooooooooo different. Even tho they claim to both use the Cambric Finish.

Borderless Bees are not good for magic with reversed cards such as triumph routines or the Biddle trick. The reversed card shows really well. Try it and you'll see. Stick to white bordered cards for magic...
Don't rule out Bee's completly, the only thing they're not good for is reversed cards. But they're good for so much more, like stated before they make second dealing almost invisible. Hell if you have a good second deal it is invisible with bees. Plus they do last longer than bikes (fan, hold their shape, edges keep grip.) If only bikes came on bee stock and finish *sigh*
It's a good idea to get bees from the WPT because they are bordered. They feel just the same as a traditional deck of bees, but the design is more pleasing to the eye and more things can be done with it.
