I'm appreciating this conversation you started because I am in the same boat - obviously many of us are.It looks to be a very close to the Scythe Ti, but may or may not be as quiet at SE as the Nomad Ti XC.
This is from comparing the sound rating for the Anthem S2 (same stack design) with the numbers for the other two.
SE dBA - 128.2
Length - 7.0”
Weight - 9.8
I hate having to look at PewScience, Summit, and manufacturer’s websites to form a sort of composite data set.
PewScience charging both the manufacturer and the consumer really irritates me.

My suggestion is just be happy that Pew Science is doing what they are doing and also releasing a good amount of data without a fee. I also happen to think their fee is reasonable in the scheme of things. Partly due to the precise reason you pointed out - manufacturers are often unwilling to publish the data or unwilling / unable to publish accurate or comparable data. The thing to be irritated about is the thing you mentioned earlier - the fact that the purpose of a suppressor is to "suppress" and yet many manufacturers won't publish data or submit to an independent entity like Pew Science. At some point they will all publish data, but that doesn't help our problem today.
