Thanks for laying out the differences. It would appear you're leaning towards NEO; I am.
Now, if only they'd get onto supporting OSX and wallet... people shouldn't have to find work arounds and tricks AND use a LOT of patience trying to get a wallet sync - only to see it fail at 99+%! I'm a believer in NEO, but it'd be good if they'd make it easier to love... I'm sure that, in time, the NEO Team will sort the issues, but in the meantime - well, back to GitHub for more work around suggestions. The recent uptick in value does soothe the restless spirit though...
Thanks for comment @tasmansee. NEO is not perfect yet, but looks much more promising for the future than Ethereum. We are also looking for first ICO's on NEO. It will be great test drive for this platform.
