I know the thread is old 1+ year but I wanted to give credit to OP for a nice review + some members added interesting informations over the debate which is better noob/jf?! In the end it's always the question which flaw is less bothering you personally.
I have a Noob 2014 Safari, love it. Now I am buying a Navy from JF (apparently). The 1st one has been working perfectly for 2+ yrs. No issues whatsoever and the only thing what has been bothering me is the blurry cyclop. Everything else is really well done imo.
