Tough call...the HZRDUS yellow  is  counterbalanced so it's going to feel different.  That shaft is made for a smooth transition.  Also 75 grams is different from the NV green.  I don't know much about the green.  I suggest you get to the Golf Galaxy, PGA superstore, Golfers Warehouse or something and hit both shafts in the same head and look at the numbers.

The 2KXV is going to feel similar to the old NV if you ever hit that shaft. Like Typhoon92 said, the Yellow is counterbalanced and that can change the feel, leading to changes in your swing transition, release point, etc. The 2KXV shouldn't give you any surprises and it's a really solid shaft. I would definitely hit the Yellow however before going that direction so you know what it's about.

Years after the original NV made aftermarket shafts cool, Aldila is back with the sequel, the NV 2KXV Green.

What's different about the bold new HZRDUS Yellow? It's all about weight and balance. Get all the details in this review.

The Aldila NV 2KXV Green is the tried and tested more conventional 68g shaft. About 3.0 torque in the X flex.

The Project X HZRDUS Yellow is the newfangled counterbalanced 78g shaft.  About 2.7 torque in the X flex.

The Project X HZRDUS Yellow is a very strange shaft.  It is thick and heavy and very stiff but it has an extreme softening in a very narrow region in the middle of the shaft.

Definitely get fit.  I would not mess with either shaft in X flex unless swing speed is over 105mph.  The torque ratings are very low.

I was fitted at Ace of Clubs for my Yellow 6.0 63 gram.  I hit it great but also have no problem with other shafts that have a softer middle and a stiff tip.  The counterbalanced thing I don't really notice.  Maybe it's the degree of counterbalancing that I'm fine with.  When I was fit, the HZRDUS black was a close second to the yellow which makes sense when u read about them both.

I was killing time this winter hitting new equipment.  The Tensei CK Orange is another counterbalanced shaft ....but I hit it like crap.  Tried it in the M5 and ping g410 heads and I could not unscrew the shaft fast enough.
