no both enhances do exactly what it says, 4 pts of kb protection, it is kind of odd they are worded differently
the only difference is what the enhances can be slotted in
Right. You can put BoTZ in sprint or fly or Recall Friend or what have you. Karma only fits in powers that provide Defense. Karma's cheaper if you're slotting in CJ or Hover - those being the only two powers I know that could take either- but one way to think of it is "You could put a BoTZ in sprint and a 7.5% recharge in place of the Karma."
EDIT: Sprint may not take BoTZ, but Fly or Super Speed will.
Mini-guides: Force Field Defenders, Blasters, Market Self-Defense, Frankenslotting.
So you think you're a hero, huh.

i think the sprint powers will not take universal travel sets due to back when BOTZ set bonuses were insane and you could easily get tons of ranged defense with 5 sprint powers 2 slotted with BOTZ|

now that the bonuses have been changed, i still doubt that the sprint powers will take universal travel sets for the above mentioned reasons
Don't forget that Steadfast Protection (resist IO set) has a 4 point KB protection too. Depending on your AT/sets, that might or might not be easier to slot.
BotZ is expensive because it's the easiest for anyone to slot, and is not a common (yellow/uncommon) IO to start with.
My experience is that 4 points of KB protection will do you very well in most normal situations, and 8 points is good in almost every situation.

And that Karma and Steadfast are 10-30, while Zephyr is 10-50. But, (ignoring speculation about i21 IO changes) who wants KB protection IOs above level 10 anyways?

I believe Blessings start at 10?

... if you're level 27 and still levelling up level 30's will do just fine. And there's so many MORE of them.

Correct. I apparently didn't hit the 0 key hard enough. Fixed.

well, you also get much nicer set bonuses with BotZ.
The more people I meet, the more I'm beginning to root for the zombies.
What's the difference between the Karma: Knockback Protection and Blessing of the Zephyr: Knockback Reduction?
(other than the market price, lol)
Both seem to provide 4 points of Knockback something or other?
Karma's description says "Provides 4 points of Knockback Protection"
BotZ's description says "Reduces Knockback's effects by -4"
