While there are US builders using it, both with and without CITIES paperwork, I'm pretty much done with 4-6K builds which a good set of CITIES BRW would push most builds into. Thus the hunt for a substitute, but FWIW, I made the same comment to my builder ... there really is no true replacement if BRW tone is what you are looking for. The look ... I actually prefer more figured and less dark brown color tones, but am going for tone on this one, not visual aesthetics. So irrespective of the wood, if straight, tight grain gets more tone over figured, it will be the straight tight grain chosen. Thanks to all for all the very helpful responses.
