Well if you already have an EB48.2, the NB48 should be a no brainer, it shares 80% of the parts but thats just convenience factor but regarding performance, yea a year ago everyone would snicker about my Tekno kits and kind of laugh it off but now everyone wants one or wants me to fix theirs, went from being called Heknos to Tankos. I have seen 3 guys drop their kyosho stuff and get the NB48 and NT48, and 2 guys drop Mugen when this time last year they were die hards and laughed at Teknos. Its just a matter of perception, tekno was young in the kit game but they did it right, they got them in the hands of fast guys and now I cant go to a race without seeing a Tekno in the top of almost any class. Its been great to see actually, like a little social experiment, how quickly trends change in this hobby. Not to mention, ask anyone I race with if I have ever DNF because of my kit breaking or something like that... it just doesnt happen, I dont know why JConcepts calls their bodies the finnishers but Tekno definitely deserves the name more haha.
