nah....I don't think so. Btw, he's asking about Iolite NEO, not Iolite, vs Gergely Tamca Carbon.
I've a Iolite Neo FL (84g) & owned/played a bit of my last 2 Iolite FL/ST old w/o serial # (89g & 91g). Also I briefly hit w/my buddy's old Gergely FL Carbon years ago (I'm not a fan of it). These 3 are all very different composite blades (Iolite & Iolite Neo are Arylate Carbon & Gergely is Tamca Carbon, all have Hinoki top plies & Iolite Neo's one is the thinnest). IMHO, these 3 are different & Gergely is stiffest like hell vs the other 2 & Iolite Neo is the most pleasant & easier to play with compared w/ the other 2.
Again, Gergely Tamca Carbon, IMHO, would be in the same ball-park as the Schlager Carbon if you can find these 2 of the same weight range (My last 2 SCs, FL & An, were 92 & 91g).
I don't have any fond memories of these 2 (GC & SC) Tamca Carbon blades.
