I have not made the npw-ha so I am not sure how it compares to the npw9.

the HA must be better for buggy, becaus higher aspect ratio kites normally generate better lift and power. but it might be (dont know) that the higher
aspect ratio causes less stability, wich is bad if you want to go upwind.
i am very interested to see a nasawing with a stabilized leading edge. stabilised using tubes or carbon rods... not massive stuff, just to add a bit
more stiffness and avoid nose collapses.
Kites:
Tubes: Ozone Zephyr 17 * Naish Helix 2009 10.5 qm * Cabrinha Access 2003 9qm * Wipika Hydro 2001 9qm *
Arcs: PL Scorpion 13, 16 qm; PL Synergy 10 qm
open cell: PL Twister I 7.7 * PKD Buster II 3qm
Paragliders: Gradient Bright Classic (with check) * Swing Mistral 1 (groundhandling) *Advance Alpha 3 (groundhandling)

Did you give the HA a try? I've just finished a 3m one. Very different to the 9b. Hits the apex, very agile, but needs careful setting-up. Mine was
initially too twitchy and needed a good wind to fly.
Blade V 4.9m & 8.5m VIP,Ozone Frenzy 11m, SS Flexifoil buggy, PL hybrid suspension buggy (PTW), MBS core 95.
homemade:
NPW 9b: 7m (Union Jack). NPW 9b HA 3m (Damien) and 10m (Jolly R). NPW21 3m, 5m (aka Zombie), 8m (Batman), 11.5m (NASA), NPW 21 HA 6.8m
The Hammers 5m, 7.2m & 12m
