Richardson, I'd be tempted to delete that Blinn node, since it's not actually doing anything. Also, Blender_9 looks like it could be deleted too.
BB, I am sold on your maths behind the fresnel_blend. However, unable to sleep last night I ran an experiment. I compared fresnel_blend and edge_blend, and got an identical result....down to the last pixel. I am trying to better understand this. I thnk part of the confusion (for me) is that the two nodes have opposite color in the inner and outer colors. The render in this image is the fresnel_blend. The scene is lit from your envsphere - no lights. The diffuse_color of the rendered sphere is black, so all the color is coming from the reflection node.
