I like the FL-9 too, though I don't think it does the jet thing as good as the Boss one. Mine* isn't subtle. I wonder if your LFO isn't working properly. I've seen a few LFO caps start crapping out on Ibby pedals- I think the electrolyte dries out over time.
Although the delay time (ie the manual setting) is pretty much identical in both the BF-2 and the FL-9, I think the BF-2's is maybe deeper acting and more linear in its effect. The FL-9 has a pronounced "yow" at the bottom of the LFO travel which I find a bit displeasing. Interestingly, quite a few phasers do that too, which also annoys me.
I have a lot of different flanger pedals and the BF-2 remains my favourite, although the old Carlsbro Alu series flanger sounds amazing. It's all over lots of Bauhaus recordings.
Last year I modified a couple of old MXR 117 flangers to run off a mains adaptor for someone. Both had the SAD1024 BBD chips and I have to say, I was somewhat underwhelmed to be honest.
*It's actually an FLL Flanger from the "master" series, but the circuit is the same as the FL-9. I had an FL-9 a while back and the FLL sounds exactly as I remembered it.
I said maybe.....
Not keen on either to be honest but then, I prefer the Mistress - or these days I use a Mooer Elec Lady, as it’s cheaper and not so damned noisy.
The Micro Flanger is really nice sounding and can get pretty wooshy.
If you do decide you want a BF-2 hit me up, I've got one I can let go.
The mxr micro is a very nice sound but it has a noticeable volume boost if that matters.

Anyway, the Tokais crop up quite often on Ebay.
