There are a fair few people with the same thoughts as you...

the thing is most of the people on forums like theses are hardly the type to listen to Nissan.

Secondly i'd like to point out a technicallity, the question was which SYNTHETIC is prefered, the nissan ester oil is a blend.

Please realize that Ester is a generic term, there are literally thousands of different ester formulas. The ester formula Nissan uses is patented and AFAIK no body else is using it, and nor would it make sense to at this point.

Hmmm, I sense being drawn into the oil definition vortex. Didn't really want to go there.
Dino, synthetic, blend, conventional, are all marketing derived terms, not scientific.

"Synthetic" is a marketing term and that it is the responsibility of the Marketer (the one who labels and markets the oil) to define what it is.
