At least you admit to being lazy...
From my limited (HA) experience with various motors the neu seem to be the best out there. Generally the external looks are a bit questionable (black motor with crappy sticker) and I have noticed the variety of shaft materials that neu seems to use. I have a feeling you have a few different age stators in those motors, that would account for the differences in the shaft length and appearance. I once returned a neu with a fault stator and got a heli model stator back, the shaft must have been 1.5" long... Kinda funny, I just trimmed it down to the correct length and ground a flat spot on it.
I do understand your feeling s though, these motors are not cheap, and if I bought them neu I would be concerned about these same things. I guess function beats form, at least for me.
