What are you specifically trying to compare? Filter type? Size?
Nisi are generally considered the "best" optical quality compared to other square systems. But there's alot of variation depending on whether you're looking at pure ND, grad ND or variable.
Have you considered Haida? Their color neutrality and glass quality are excellent. Haida is priced well below Nisi for similar sizes. I like Haida because they have an entire system of 75mm filters to fit smaller lenses.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for asking. I'm looking for 100X100m and 100X150mm filters and holders. The real question for me is impact on image quality; is the difference between the two systems that noticeable? Secondarily, how easy is one vs. the other to use.
Never heard of Haida but I have now and will check them out; thanks for the tip.
Background info:
Currently I have a Lee filter holder with one 3-stop GND that I love using for landscapes. I hate post processing but love doing what I can in the field to get it right in the camera. As a hobbyist I have that luxury.
Separately, I have used some screw-on ND's to slow my shutter down for waterfall pics. There have been times where I wanted to combine ND, GND and CP to maximize my in-the-field optimization and improve the final pic. Lee's CP is stupid expensive and to get the CP and the ND's I want, would be more expensive than the Nisi V7 system with the same items despite already having the Lee holder and GND. I can certainly afford the Nisi but why spend the money if something else will do as well for less.
