All I know is I paid post-Kickstarter price for the Oristo in black (Stealth), got it in two days, had my first shave with it, and it's a very mild and smooth shaver. No issues with the handle. I'm also on the list to be notified when Joe makes the Black Mamba available again.
I don't have a Black Mamba nor have I ever shaved with one, but from the reviews I've read of it, the pictures I've seen, and my experience with the Oristo Stealth, I would speculate that they're pretty close in performance.
I have a Black Mamba and it's exactly as you describe the Oristo, a mild and smooth shaver. The razor head on the Oristo video is identical in every respect to the Black Mamba, it was like watching a video of my razor. The good news is that more people will get to experience this sweet shaving razor, be it a Black Mamba or an Oristo. It's actually a bit surprising how nicely it shaves as when you first load a blade into it there is an intimidating amount of blade exposure but it in no way translates to an overly aggressive shave.
