motul 800 or golden spectro???

Disclaimer: I attempted a search but computer illiteracy prevented me from a happy ending--
Ok I have been using motul 800.bought the bike from a guy that was using golden spectro a year ago or so. Got to thinking the motul 800 is a bit pricey what w/hi test gas priced as it is and all. I think i was getting at least 10 gallons of mix from a container of motul @40:1.maybe a bit more.
golden spectro scares me to death to run it at 50:1 per fredette website(1 bottle =5 gallons I think is how he phrased it).So I usually mix a 4.5 gallon +/- per bottle of golden.
I have now thought about my outlay of cash regarding both and think my better deal is motul 800.
Regardless of my zero mathematical skills,which is the better oil reckon?
my bike thus far:
1997 KDX200-
-complete BOY RAD VALVE;
-PC PIPE/304 end and sometimes an FMF TC II in between repacking;
I am VERY CLOSE to sending my head to MR.BLACK to follow w/carb mod soon after.Really wanting to do both @ same time but that is another story--
ANY reply will be greatly appreciated and seriously taken into consideration.
FYI-(1) Golden Spectro @ $6.99 YEAH that is high &i have to buy from local honda idiots
(1) motul 800 @ $13-14.00 depending on mood of local KAW shop at time PLUS they really give me nice % off all my orders and parts and have known owner for 30 years so i like to deal w/him;
ALL ELSE would have to be ordered as far as i know unless i use KAW regualr old premix,which i just did,but can't recall the price because i have had it awhile and stocked up on it for my 1987 KDX200 which I need to start but again that is another story.
thanks in advance
