At a glance
The Code Encrypt is way more affordable at $220 USD and gives you a genuine NHL pro-stock build, but you're locked into one flex and one curve with no wiggle room. The Novium 2 Pro is noticeably lighter at 360g with better material construction, but you're paying $130 USD more for a stick that still only comes in two curves and two flex options.
