Hmm. the Better of Both Worlds sounds wrong, but if you replace Both with Two.. then you have
Better of Two Worlds (sound right)
Best of Two Worlds (sounds wrong)
It's the same conundrum with "bunch" versus "number" of boards. When I read "bunch" I think "number". But if we were talking grapes, I'd think "bunch of grapes" not "number of grapes", unless they were already picked off the vine, then it would be a number of grapes. The boards seem like individuals to me, not a true "bunch".
IsoM is right though, technically "bunch" is singular.
Gee, where's an English teacher when you need one?
