I was working with the gradient background from the website you linked, and it seemed to work well. I made my own gradient with it based on the BiM one, and it came out fairly nice. It's not perfect, but it's OK. I tried using very few color stops, because the more you have, the longer the page takes to load. You can see it here:

I also used the image import function, and it recreated it fairly well, but it uses a lot of color stops, and will be hard to adjust all of those. It didn't work well on the site, however, because it made the gradient huge.

I still reccomend that you use the image. Even though the gradient is newer and some say it is better, it will definately take longer to load, and if a browser does not support CSS gradients, then it will revert back to a solid color, which is not better. Plus, the gradient takes up more lines of code, and probably more loading time than the simple image. Even though CSS is the future, this one is better as an image, IMO. That's why I have reverted it back to the image in my CSS.
