NZ has the option for black trim tape... Depending on your colour preference that might be something for you as it was for me. Shipping costs might vary considerably depending on your location. No other noticeable differences IMO.

My understanding of Icarus products is that:

Made in NZ is the most preferred

Made in Spain is good

Made in USA is the least preffered

The quality coming out of spain is second to none.

If you are in north america or europe and go to a dealer, they are going to get the canopy from spain.

Icarus canopies havent been made in the USA since 2001 or so.

The vast majority of Icarus canopies are made in Spain.

When you can walk from home to the NZ factory, you should probably take that as a sign :)

NZ canopies at the moment take 5-6 weeks.
