Also the 'peaks'. The Bcc have more prevelent peaks.
That is my knowledge on the subject. Although when I first got into a discussion about BCC vs BCI when I joined here, JS said to read up on the different localities, and examine pictures of the types and sooner or later it would just sink in. Like the way a person recognizes the differences between a Doberman and a German Shepard. Sooner or later you just learn to identify the differences and they will become so obvious that you won't believe you didn't see them before.
