On an aesthetic level, would it be possible to mix EK and Bitspower fittings? Eg Black Nickel EK's and Black Sparkle Bitspower's.

Haha, cheers.

Does anybody own an EK and Bitspower equivalent fitting, could you post a pic of them side by side?

What ek fittings are you using? It all depends on what size the fittings are.

For example having huge compression fittings on really small 1/4 elbows might look kind of off.

Sorry, I meant in terms of colour shade. Does the BP Shiny Silver look similar to the EK Nickel colour wise? I might just go with Monsoon fittings instead for something a bit different. Its just that the threaded sections on BP's are knurled (gripping is crossed) whereas on Monsoons they are ribbed (raised lines).

Bitspower produce so many different parts that its hard to ignore their fittings if you want to get that 'industrial' look.
