Exactly, I got a set of used 2Xs and ideally for my knee to be in the "middle" I need XLs... couldn't find the right deal on XLs though... so my knee rests at the very top, if anything my problem would be landing on top not below of the knee block even though I wear knee pads underneath regardless...

The cages are different and the masks themselves are also different. Personally if I had to pick between the two, I would want a Fit 3 NME over the 960 which i find too narrow and "tight". The way I have added Maltese gel under the stock padding in my Concept also puts the front part of my face further away from the cage, granted this is likely reducing vision to a degree too as they say the closer you are to the cage, the further the bars are from the centre of your eyes right... Probably true, but at the same time I feel that UNLESS someone is stabbing you 100% straight at your eye, being further away from the cage probably decreases your chances of getting hit even IF a stick makes its way through. That being said, if either NME or 960 the cage is also slightly further away from your eye, I feel that could also incluence the degree of risk/safety...
