The Value Blackout is way more affordable and gives you 5 blade patterns to choose from, but it's noticeably heavier and feels less refined overall. The Encrypt Pro is a lighter, better-balanced stick with a hybrid kick that responds faster, but you're paying elite pricing for a signature colourway.
