I have both the fancy Neapolitan stuff and the BB non-iron shirts..... for work ,I prefer the non-iron because you can just throw it in the wash and no ironing would be required. I don't want toxic chemicals from the dry cleaner's to get on the shirt, and thus against my skin.
For must-iron shirts, the ironing process takes too long, and there's no way I'm bringing anything expensive to the dry cleaner's. So before you buy the must-iron shirts, wash a few shirts (the Neapolitan stuff I wash by hand - lasts longer and I find the washing machine causes wear to the shirts) and iron it yourself, and ask yourself honestly if you're willing to devote the time to do that every week.
I note that BB's non-iron shirts' collars are fused - meaning it will eventually bubble at the collar. I've only had one shirt that bubbled, however. Have a large rotation, so the time it takes to bubble might be shorter for you.
