I've owned top end Fox which were very good but I prefer the simplicity of the Neville's. They do everything you need and they do it perfectly. Don't be put off by the ham fisted tightening them down until the cases split.
If I was in the market for new Alarms it would be Nev's too, just love the simplicity and the gimmick free design of them.
~ I rubber mount all my Alarms these days, provides an instant alignment and no there's need to over-tighten at all as the compression of the Rubber holds them still. There's absolutely no reason for having Alarms locked up solid.

I'm a fox man myself - had a set of RX digitals for a few years which I sold and now regret. Currently using the MMXR which are a great compact little alarm, and to be honest more or less do what the RX's did but without the vibration technology which I didn't really use anyway.
I've had a few sets of different fox alarms over the years from the budget end to high end and they've always been faultless. Never used delks but know plenty who do and swear by them.
To be honest you could go for either and not be disappointed I reckon.

Well, I went for fox, have a bit of a soft spot for fox, being the first alarms I used properly. I nearly bought the delks yesterday, but finally found someone with the fox in stock. So I actually had to make a decision....and I did. Hopefully I wont regret not holding out for the wolf alarms

You wont go wrong with any of them, its just personal choice at the end of the day. There all great alarms.

Only alarms I've been 100% happy with. They're just ‘right'.
Only potential issue I can see is line skipping on slack lines particularly if rods heavily angled but I would assume that's the same for all roller wheels.

I've got the Fox RX+ alarms and the major tipping point for buying them (apart from disliking Delkims 
) was the led on the handset. I believe the Prologic SMX was first to feature this. It's a great way of finding your shoes in the middle of the night and helping to avoid tripping over the dog. Add to that they are excellent alarms.
I think all companies should invest in adding this to their receivers .

hope you don't take offence but is it an eyesight thing? I think I'd be impaired playing a fish at night if I'd had a light on in the bivvy first.
I've never had a problem finding shoes left by my bed at night without light. I try not to use light when playing fish at night cos of light blindness. I might switch the headtorch on near the net if I need to but that's it.
that said I've had to start wearing reading glasses and it's getting worse so maybe it's coming to me.

I've got the rx+s and bought them to replace my NTXrs as soon as they came out simply for the adjustable leds on the alarms. the NTXrs were far too bright and non adjustable. I never use the bivvy light facility. I think the less light the better.

Must admit I don't have a problem putting my trainers on in the dark, (boots are a different matter), nor tripping over the dog, even though she sleeps just out the bivvy usually, or just inside if it is raining.
I don't actually grab my headlight normally until the fish is in the net, and on the mat, unless I just happen to be wearing it anyway. I'm wary of switching it on while playing a fish, I have spooked a few by switching it on as I'm just about to net it, and having to play it again to the net.
As for alarms, I know all of the Fox vs Delkim vs Nevs arguments, but I'm still using 20 year old Delkim ST's which I paired with Att dongles and receiver. The alarms still work so I see no reason to change.
I keep looking, keep thinking 'just in case', but each time think to heck with it.
