At a glance
The Nexus E3 gives you a much wider curve selection and Bauer's ER Spine Technology, while the Code Encrypt 2 comes in just slightly cheaper and offers more flex options to match your strength. Neither stick lists a weight advantage clearly, but the E3's 451g is on the heavier side for a mid-range stick.
