At a glance
The Nexus Sync is noticeably lighter at 365g and built with elite materials, but it costs over four times more than the Value Blackout, which is way more affordable at $80 CAD. If you can feel the difference between sticks, the Sync delivers it; if you're on a budget or rough on gear, the Blackout makes more sense.
