Plugin interactions – Bulletproof Security & Better WordPress Security

Hi Everyone,
I’m using Better WP Security with Bulletproof Security and they seem to overlap. Bullet Proof Security scatters .htaccess files all over the WordPress core files etc, but doesn’t deal with other aspects of security – login, backup, file permissions, and all the good things that BWPS does.
What I’d like to understand is whether I’m better off using BWPs on its own – does it provide the protection to .htaccess that Bullet Proof Security does or am i destined to have a dashboard of blue (not green) ink ? I am nervous about having both plugins changing .htaccess !

This may be a question, that only the plugin author can answer !
BWs
