i've read different reviews that some say the 353 has a 11.9mm and others say a 11.5mm diameter...

The only other difference i could find were the extra holes in the 353 sleeve

Tossing up spending $390US for a 12-3SCT or $529US for a 353

the crankshaft, piston/sleeve is the same. So obviuosly the performance is the same as well. The one different is only a matter of tuning.

The heatsink and packaging is obviously different. I am a NOVA fens. Now I don't quite like the nova ways of marketing strategy.

The reason is they only apply some plastic surgery on their so call "NEW" engine such as 353 and selling much higher price.

Compare this 353 to old days NOVAS5 how much different could it be...
