are you sure IMSTO spacebars are made by BSP? I know some of his dyesub sets are, but I'm not sure for the spacebars... doesn't that 6.25u have way more compatible stems than BSP ones?

I got 7u only and I am not sure about the original source of those bars, but they are very well made.
Vortex (older stock) or Gateron (newer stock) is what IMSTO usually sells. BSP does not have spacebar moulds for our sizes. The Vortex ones are kinda thin and not that good; I have many of them in beige.
I don't see using a PBT spacebar on an ABS keyset as an option, but I'm glad it works for you, and is a good alternative for those that don't mind mixing ABS and PBT.
I really enjoy typing on uniformed texture/materials, so I try to keep avoid mixing ABS (OG Cherry ABS or GMK) with PBT (OG Cherry PBT or Gateron or any other Chinese equivalent).
I actually don't mind shine on my ABS keysets, as I find it adds character and feels fine to type on, but just would prefer to have a few extra spacebars on hand in case I ever want to swap in a new one (since they wear a bit faster than the rest of the keys).
For the same reasons of not wanting to mix ABS/PBT keysets, I have replaced my Realforce stock ABS spacebars with a PBT one, so my fingers are happy and unconfused.
