I agree there's no difference between 'three bendlets' and 'three bendlets enhanced', but there should be a difference between 'a sun eclipsed' and 'three bendlets enhanced AND a compass star pierced'.  When looking at the redraw of the emblazon, the bendlets are now clearly three bendlets and not 'Per bend bendy Or and gules and gules'.

The issue I see with calling it a muti-part division on half the field, 
is that the bendlets on the second emblazon do not span the entire half 
of the field.  I would think that if someone tried to submit that as per 
bend bendy, it would get bounced for a re-draw.  Would it be different 
if there were only two bendlets?  Obviously one bendlet would be 
considered a charge and not a field devision.

I've always been taught that we register the emblazon, not the blazon.  
In the first case the emblazon /looked/ like per bend bendy, and one 
can't get around that by trying to blazon it as three bendlets 
enhanced.  But that logic works both ways and so since the second case 
/looks/ like a charge of three bendlets because they don't span half the 
field, I don't see how one can then blazon it as per bend bendy and say 
that it conflicts.
