One of my main reasons for wanting the bolt is for cleaning. If you saw the TTAG post about the BCG you would see how easy it is to clean. I know to take everything with a grain of salt but TTAG is one of the few review posters I trust. I would just rather be ale to wipe it down in 2 minutes in the field with a paper towel than spend time scrubbing orwaiting for the super special ultrasonic cleaner 9,000. Also they are fairly new and it's hard to get accurate information about them.

I'm not trying to put down your ideas here man, I'm really not, but how much have you shot out of an AR with a standard phosphate BCG and how much have you cleaned?
Simple wipe down of parts instead of scrubbing isn't solely unique to these newer special coatings.
I used Frog Lube paste for a while and only once had to scrape the bolt tail after a rather harsh range day that included firing a little over 600 rounds in about an hour and a half without any re-lubing. Other than that, it was a simple wipe down with an old scrap shirt that I use for cleaning guns and it was completely clean.
Same goes for Slip2000. I rarely have to scrape anything as long as I keep it generously lubed.
Motor Oil and an ATF mixture also works wonders for minimizing caked on carbon.
As long as you use a decent lubricant and keep it wet, your time spent scrubbing will be minimal or non existent.
