Could someone please tell me the difference in these two models? I have a 95t I am in love with and one of these seems to be in my future.

Thanks!
 
As far as I know, and I could be wrong, there is just one model. Technically called the Neon Lite, but it's often referred to as just the Neon.

There is also production NeOn Ultra Lite (that one usually have S30V blade and standoff instead of backspacer). There is a lot of variations of Custom Division NeOn's and Full Custom NeOn's from Sergey.
Two more Shirogorov NeOn's Ultra Lite:
One with Shirogorov Bears logo...
Another one with Shirogorov Russian Congress logo.
 
To quote a post on a different forum:

There are three varieties of NeOns (Custom Division and Sergey's full customs not included):
NeOn 3D - a very limited run with unique blade grind, 3D carved titanium handles, and roller bearings
NeOn Lite - your 'regular' production NeOn, with flat (2D) titanium handles, flat ground blade, backspacer, and multi-row ball bearings.
NeOn Ultra Lite - a simplified version of your production NeOn.

The differences are in blade steels used (Lite uses M390/S90V, Ulta Lite uses S30V).

Ultra Lite also has a standoff instead of a backspacer, and has no internal milling in the scales; all of this helps push the cost down. Ultra Lite runs on multi-row ball bearings, as well.
