Steve Hopf has been very responsive to my latest inquiry in the past few days. His borosilicate gg is a joy to behold.

Haha, awesome!
As per the difference in soda lime and boro, Steve wrote:
"Borosilicate is the better glass. It is optically pure, lacking the
blue green tint of soda-lime. Borosilicate is tougher material --like
pyrex, so it is more durable. Plus it is slightly finer grain and
slightly brighter than soda-lime. All that said, soda-lime glass will
do the job well. It gets the same grind as borosilicate, so it is
good and bright too."
