At a glance
The Value Blackout is way more affordable and gives you a much wider curve selection, but the Novium 2 SP is noticeably lighter and brings a mid kick point with better documented construction quality. If budget and blade variety matter most, the Blackout wins on paper, but the Novium 2 SP is the more refined stick overall.
