At a glance
The Nexus E4 is way more affordable and offers a much wider curve and flex selection, but the Covert Deluxe is noticeably lighter at 65g less and delivers a faster low-kick release for quick-release shooters. If budget and fit flexibility matter most, the E4 wins; if you want elite weight and a snappier low kick, the Deluxe is worth the premium.
