I had 2 C50 10XL motors at one point. They are for sure good motors, but the Neu is better IMO. They just run a little cooler than the Hackers and are cheaper too. If you truly want German engineering in your motor find yourself a Lehner 1940 or 1950 motor. They are still the best motors around IMO. Downsides are, really hard to get on this side of the Atlantic, expensive, and service sucks if you need anything repaired or parts for the motor. I have a few of the Lehners and totally love them, but for the reasons above doubt I will ever purchase another one.
