At a glance
The Tacks XF 70 is way more affordable and easier to find in USD pricing, but the Blackout Green Lite is noticeably lighter by over 100 grams and offers a much wider curve selection. If weight and blade variety matter to you, the HSM stick wins clearly, but you're paying a performance price for it.
