New BD rope with "1x1" weave...

i have a couple older BD ropes with the 1x1 weave and i really like them.  they switched over to a 2x2 weave for a few years, but i didn't like them as much.  their new rope lineup has several ropes that they advertise as being a 1x1 weave, but when i look at the photos they look like a 2x2 weave, but with some weird offset/asymmetry (see link below and look at closeup photo).  am i on drugs here?

however, the honnold looks like a typical 1x1 (see link below)

The BD ropes have been subpar for the last few years. 

Perhaps the confusion lies in that old BD ropes were relabeled Roca, but the new ones are relabeled Tendon. Perhaps just buy straight from Roca if you like those?  

In the video kolin even calls it a 1x1, but it doesn't look like one to me.

Single pic sheaths & double pic both have their advantages & disadvantages. 

The two carrier strands are woven in a one on one braid?

yeah, it looks something like that.  not sure what to call it. i don't think i would call it 1x1.

If it was cloth, it would be called a twill weave, but I doubt the rope industry uses the same naming conventions.

edit to add: looking at the "2x2", that's just a doubled version of the twill weave, versus a plain weave 2x2.

My favorite ropes are the mammut crag 9.5 (formerly Infinity) and the sterling helix, which both appear to have a "2x2" plain weave.
