At a glance

The Value Blackout is way more affordable at $80 CAD and offers a much wider curve selection, but the Novium 2 SP is noticeably lighter at 451g and gives you a proper mid kick with better build consistency. The main trade-off is price and curve variety versus shot feel and quality control.
