Smitty I can't say about the Lenox but the Timber Wolf blades has got a very good reputation. TW is what I use but what I use isn't worth all that much. :laugh2:

I generally buy my Timber Wolf blades on Amazon Prime, so no shipping charges, which means both blades cost about the same delivered. I find the Lennox website a bit confusing, so although a respected fabricator, I'll stick with the TW. Lennox does a great job with custom blades though, You could probably order one 19feet, seven and 3/16ths and they'd make it (exaggeration), and you'd have your choice of metals and treatments.
One thing I always do with a new blade is roundover the back with an abrasive stone on a stick. Makes most blades run smoother and they make turns a little easier. Occasionally I get a blade with a little bead on the back of the weld that makes a Tic everytime it goes around. The stone eliminates that. About #13 bucks. https://www.amazon.com/Olson-AC7001...-fkmr1&keywords=bandsaw+blade+grounding+stone
