At a glance
The Nexus Sync is a premium one-piece with way more curve and flex options, while the Blackout Blue Lite matches it on weight at a much more affordable price point. If budget matters and you play intermediate, the HSM is hard to ignore, but the Sync gives you significantly more customization and a warranty-backed elite construction.
