I think NEO is stronger than ADA with their technology and with their clout in the industry so far. IOHK is great but NEO was able to go from mere cents to over $100 in less than a year. Impressive growth.
I think you are right and NEO did very impressive run. Right now NEO is one of the most undervalued coins and is also one of the coins that will make the greatest runs when the market recover.
