At a glance
The Nexus E3 is way more affordable and gives you trusted Bauer tech, but the Pro Blackout Prototype is noticeably lighter at 350g versus 451g and offers way more curve choices (9 patterns versus 3). You're paying $50 more for the Blackout but getting a stick that feels faster in your hands and fits more shooting styles.
