What is the differences between the Nova and the original one?

These are apparently sticks that don't meet Vic firth's standards for American classics. They can be rebranded for different retailers. Mine were stamped with the name of some discount music supply house as their house brand. They were some of the worst sticks I've ever bought. I guess you could get luckier than I did, since there seem to be plenty of people that are satisfied. They seem to be discount minded parents--not that there's anything wrong with that--it's just not my purchasing priority.If you don't play on the bell of your cymbals you may be fine. That's how most of my sticks broke, though not all. These are apparently sticks that don't meet Vic firth's standards for American classics. They can be rebranded for different retailers.

Nova's are just a cheaper alternative to Vic Firth and from my experience holds up in endurance and durability.

Hello cheap deals ! Note, I have never used the nylon tip in either brand of stick. That said, to me, the difference between Nova 5A wood tip and Vic 5A wood tip is the weight, the Nova is just SLIGHTLY thicker, and notice the wood tip on the Nova...it is bigger and does not sound as articulate on ride cymbal. Never the less, I feel the Nova is STILL a good stick for a cheap stick. Actually, among the best of the cheap sticks. I find the NOVA totally useable, while ultimately preferring the Vic. To me, regular sticks are overpriced ! I would buy the NOVA again, it's that good. Hope that opinion helps ! Good luck. -M Hello cheap deals !

I found the Nova to be a very good, reliable stick. In fact, I broke less Nova sticks than originals ones. I really liked the balance of the stick, although the original have the edge IMHO. The difference in price made it a winner for me, since all other aspects were very close between them.

According to their website, the only differences I can see (I have the old one) are the color (Blue and Grey, instead of the old red), the iPod plugin and speakers, and the back tires are slightly different.

I really don't know. I do a lot of photography so I am constantly switching back and forth between the original and the one I ordered. Over the months, I lost track which is the original and the one I ordered (they look identical) and usage wise, I can't tell the difference between them.

The differences are cosmetic only. The software version may vary, however. For all practical purposes, they are identical.

The only difference in the models of BotVac (70e, 75, 80, 85) is the supplies (brushes and filters) packed in the box. You can always buy the least expensive BotVac now, and get the supplies later. Compared to the older model XV, the Botvac runs a lot longer on one charge, covers a lot more territory, moves faster and more efficiently and is about 10 db quieter. Unlike the XV, it navigates my open floor plan without getting stuck in a continuous loop. I have only had the BotVac for a week, and use it on a combination of hardwood and carpeting. Now that the batteries are fully conditioned, the BotVac runs two hours, then it recharges for about an hour, then it runs for one more hour to finish my whole place of 2500 square feet. The old model ran for 45-50 minutes per charge and would never finish my whole place in three runs. I had to have two Neato XVs running at the same time to do the job, (starting from opposite ends of my floorplan). So one BotVac does the job of two XVs, and does a better job of picking up crumbs as well.

I doubt there is any difference. I bought this one and really like it. Would reccommend.

Nothing from my research. Both appear to have the same features. Only notable differences would be aesthetics such as colors on the plastic

It's virtually the same. It has the same body with minor paint differences and a better sculpt. It does not come with the ring of squirrels that the series one does though. It's very similar to the $200+ one

Ithink the only other differences are cosmetic. There is a tray/storage in the -2 model below the console that doesn't look like it's there in the earlier model. Honestly though, I think the main value in the extra cost is the improved console. Based on earlier reviews that liked the unit but criticized the console as small and unresponsive, I thought the extra $100 for the newer version would be worth it. The new console is large, nice & informative, and works great.

I'm not sure. I have the Elite but I haven't seen the regular one to compare it to.

Im not sure what the difference is . I have the newest one and it works great. The only problem i had was reading the instructions, they ar written in broken English and don't make much sense. If you buy one and need help learning how to use it you can email me about it. Landrithjames54@gmail.com

I don't know the difference between the two--only that one is a newer model than the other. You should research the model numbers.

They are both patriot models so I don't think much, if anything. They are listed together on the mm site. I wonder if it isn't just a packaging difference?

I don't know the difference but must admit that I am happier with this one more than the previous one, it seems lighter and more durable. Sorry can't be more of help

The nova system has really high quality effects and analog distortion. The line 6 might have some more features but I really like my nova system

they do not have any difference... both do not have a digital display ... only the oldest model has.

The only difference I noticed was cosmetic stuff- logos, and the voices when it powers up, etc. If you buy a refurb though do so at your own risk... I'd suggest buying new.
