Yeah, I'm not saying the NG Eco isn't cheaper, but I think it's close enough considering the w/crank options where SRAM/Quarq aren't feeling the heat. In addition, I don't think the NG Eco will even support the new 8-bolt "Prime" crank/spiders, just the older Force/Rival/CX1 3-bolt designs.
It's actually why I've just gone ahead and preordered Vector 3s to replace my Vector 2s. Not only is this a lighter option than going with a spider PM (unless I use those awful Blade 2s,) it's also not really more expensive for me. If I go Quarq, even with a friendly 20% discount, I have to switch pedals and buy a whole new crankset. The same goes for the NG Eco. Even if I go with the Rotor 3D24 option, that means a BB bearing replacement, pedal replacement and increased weight over my Red cranks plus Vectors.
