Thinking this would be a nice complement to my Simpson's Duke 3 in best and SOC Boar. Anyone care to chime in on their thoughts on the SOC Badger (two band)?

Get it. It's an awesome brush.
They're very nice. For some reason, both Ash brushes I have perform better than those I have in the Cherry handles. Could just be lightning striking twice, though.
What he said.
Completely agree. It will compliment your Duke 3 (which I also have) quite nicely.
One of the best brushes I've ever used (and that includes brushes that cost a whole lot more). Good for face & bowl lathering with soaps & creams.
I have only used my SOC 2-band a few times but it is a very nice brush with great backbone, medium-high density and just a touch of scritch. It is actually a breath of fresh air compared to all the uber-soft brushes that seem to have taken over in popularity as I enjoy a little scritch on occasion.
I highly recommend the two band SOC. It has tons of backbone, a nice handle, and a nice amount of scritch. However, if you like badger bushes that are cloud-like soft, you won't like the SOC. It will most likely have more scritch than your Duke 3, but it will also have more backbone.

Thanks! I have the SOC Boar in cherry and was thinking of the SOC badger with cherry as well. At least until I read Gingerbread's comment.
Great brush if you like "scritch".
Great brush! The price-quality ratio is one of the best out there. Much better than the SOC boar too, at least in my experience.
I like the SOC boar in cherry and the two band in ash. The darker hair on the two band looks better with the lighter colored wood to me.
As with any animal product, each hair (and therefore batch of hair) will vary. The cherries I got just have more scritch than my ashes - both the boar and 2-bands.
This is a perfect summation of this brush.
I like mine a lot. It is very different than my Whipped Dog silver tip. I enjoy the contrast. I have the cherry handle, only because I prefer the darker color.
