The Nexus E3 is way more affordable at $130 and gives you a much wider curve selection with three blade options, while the Code Encrypt Pro Stock is a genuine NHL-spec stick built to Nylander's exact setup. Most recreational players will feel the E3's weight at 451g, and the pro stock's round shaft and stiffer 75 flex suit stronger, more experienced shooters.
