This is a good summation, better than I could have come up with. The NeoAir "magic" became clear to me when I discovered I could keep less air in it than the BA/POE counterparts (both of which I own). The higher tube count and their being shorter seem to support me more evenly.

Cheers,

Also, the BA has its "humps" running the same direction as you lie on it so you can have more of a perceived "mountain and valley" effect than with the Neo. You can't roll "into" a valley with the Neo.

For some, these differences may not matter.
