All the Novalager comments are very encouraging.  I was thinking that I would brew with Baja next but maybe not.  ;)

Diamond and nova definitely different enough to keep both on hand. Diamond is maltier with a hint of sulfur. I think that it would work better in some German lager styles.

Based on my limited usage, and non side by side tasting, I would have said Nova is maltier.
