other than the sound...how do the nexgen's compare with the standard 11.5's?

Well, not only do they sound better, less clinking, but they feel a lot better. Not a cheap plastic feel, more clay-like. Looks aren't even close, even without a label (mine have labels). The colored edge spots just look better.
Nexgen's take the nod over 11.5 in sound, feel, and looks. Added together, it means the 11.5's aren't close to the Nexgens in total.
As for slickness: my nexgens were somewhat slick until I added labels. Now they aren't at all.
I showed my local game players my nexgens and they went crazy over my "custom" chips.
That being said, I would favor the 10g faux except for how ugly they are. Appearace isn't everything but it sure counts for a lot. Pull the body off a Porsche and replace it with a Beetle's shell; you may have a Beetle that's fast and handles like a dream, but it's still a Beetle to everyone, not a Porsche.
