Hmm. He does say in "Duel" that one of his reasons for not killing Travis is that he would have enjoyed it... Which maybe *does* make him more akin to Travis than he would like. Maybe refusing to kill Travis is Blake's way of reassuring himself that he hasn't *become* Travis.
And cf Hostage: TRAVIS: Ushton betrayed you. You must hate him; I would in your place. BLAKE: That is the difference between us, Travis. [Travis aims blow at Blake] BLAKE: That, too.
He's slightly smug about the fact that there is still a difference, but perhaps it's a sign that he works on it. Maybe Blake's watchstrap says WWTD and then he does the opposite.
