Given the table at
http://3dprintingindustry.com/2015/11/25/colorfabb-launches-ngen-easy-to-print-functional-filament/
the processing temperature range is more narrow and with a larger difference to the room temperature then even PLA.
I have no clue how they meassure "printability" and what "surface clarity" is supposed to be.

I'm tempted to buy it with the Black Friday deal.
From the description it seems to be more reliable and I'm all for reliability.
The glass transition temperature is 85°C (+25°C compared to PHA/PLA)
but the difference to the printing temperature is neglectable as it prints 20°C warmer.
It also needs the heated bed to be warmer.
I got the following reply regarding vapour smoothing:
" We haven't tried any smoothing with nGen with aceton, but it most likely does not work."
No questions regarding how to compare ngen with XT and PHA/PLA was answered.
They do gave a guide on how to use it

but there is no information to tell if XT or ngen is better for any specific task.
