I've climbed on Neopro. It's a 16 strand but it's small diameter, really tight weave, kinda stiff... not great for footlocking. Not my kind of lifeline.
But it's fairly unique and durable, some people swear by it.
I've heard it's a bitch to splice.
 
I've been thinking about bringing on the Neopro at Wesspur. It's the only 7/16" 16 strand on the market. I think the 16 strand construction would be more durable than a double braid because the cover is so much thicker, but it is definitely a harder splice. That is probably why all the other 7/16" lines are double braids.
