really depends on what you want. I have run both and they are both great tires!
The Bt45 is an awsome sport touring tire, with emphises on the touring part.
They will last a very long time, and corner very well.

Sport Demons, are a fantastic SPORT touring tire, with HEAVY emphesis on the sport part. I have know idea how long they will last, but they stick like holy hell in the corners.
I find I am draging my knee in areas were I absolutly didnt feel comfortable to do so with the Bt45's.

so it really depends on what you want... sportier, or a more touring based tire.

price wise I actually get a better price on the pirellis, I just switched from bt45's... for my riding style (semi-agressive) I like these better for the occasionnal fast corners. I'll be trying the avons next to see if theres a difference.
