I don't use a Neo-air - I haven't yet been convinced enough to buy one. However, if what you mean for a BA IAC is a Big Agnes Insulated Air Core - that is my goto winter pad. I use it down to about -15 Celsius (a lot colder than 25F) and I am warm and toasty on it. below that I add a blue foam pad to it.

So based on that assumption, if you were cold on the big agnes at 25, I'm suspecting you'll find the neo-air pretty darn chilly without a topper of some kind. (i.e. a foam pad on top.)

So see, there's really no simple two word answer - a lot of it is based on the individual, and the rest of your gear - based on your answer (that you find the BA cold at 25) *I* might even find the neo-air ok at your temps, just because I know I'm comfortable on the BA down a lot colder than you are.
