The Value Blackout is way more affordable at CA$70 and gives you a much wider curve selection with 8 blade options, while the Alpha LX3 is noticeably lighter at 399g and brings elite-level carbon fiber construction with a hybrid kick point. If budget is the main factor, the Blackout is hard to argue with, but the LX3 is a meaningfully better stick in terms of materials and performance feel.
