GRAPHITE INLAID EUB?

Hi Guys!
Im considering to buy aEUB, NS offers the CR5M G version,
But I dont really know the positif and negative effects of such an inlaid graphite. What I know is that it adds stiffnes,but how stiff the difference is,is it worth?
I once read that the Graphite might cause problems due to wodd compression.
I will really appreciate any experiences ,knowledge etc.
Thank you very much
regards
Suresh

I thought all the original NS basses had graphite reinforcement?

The CR basses were slightly cheaper versions of these - well anyway, made in Europe, so they were more affordable for us in Europe?

So the original spec which was successful and led to the other ranges, had graphite...?

It's just inside the neck for support and stiffness, something that comes from the EB world and is perfectly good technology. I have an NS bass and it's fun. Yeah I think all of the NS basses have graphite reinforcement.
