Jonathan, If I had the energy and time ....I would do a part to part comparison because I am curious myself....but I don't have the time for that.......forget about putting it to bed ....... because of the reputation of NE being a recast, the armor makers of NE have stop making it and have started producing AM armor again....... which is ridiculous...don't get me started. I'm glad I was able to get my hands on a couple of NE kits before they stop producing them......
They look very similar ....I am no expert. It could be recast I guess...... but the makers of NE claimed it wasn't recast ....and then a bunch of people went nuts and insisted it was.......and now we have a less accurate armor being offered .....
