You are lucky to find a local shop that sells, and therefore will service (!) these Chinese bikes. Lucky! But, I don't think that they are basically the same. Ask them who makes the BMS. Is it Bashan? Those front forks are inverted, which means that they are stiffer and this will be a more stable ride, particularly in the woods, but also at speed on the road.
Maybe ask their opinion. Personally, I suspect that the BMS is a better bike. I bought a TBR7 and we had lots of issues with it. The left footpeg actually fell off the first time I swung a leg over the bike! The snorkel (rubber intake/air filter housing) was glued in crooked, causing a major fold, impeding air flow. The battery was the wrong size, didn't fit, and a couple of other problems. Sold it.
My first Chinese bike was a Bashan Storm. My son rides it now. Very durable and comfortable. It has the inverted front forks.
