The Pro Blackout is noticeably lighter at 285g versus 385g, way more affordable at CA$120, and offers a much wider curve selection, but it tops out at junior flex ratings. The Code Encrypt covers senior flex ranges and carries elite-tier construction, but costs nearly three times as much and weighs noticeably more.
