AI Breakdown

At a glance

The FlyLite is noticeably lighter, has a much wider curve selection, and is built for elite-level quick release performance, but you are paying nearly three times the price. The Code Encrypt 2 is way more affordable and works well for developing players, but gives up weight, blade options, and overall pop.
