the only thing that matters is the magnet's interaction with the voice coil and the flux produced as such. whether it's a ceramic, strontium, or neodynium magnet doesn't matter; only the flux field does. if it's a 4 tesla magnet, it's a 4 tesla magnet.
although the use of a neodnyium or strontium magnet can help cut down on mounting depth ;

the type of magnet is irrelevant. the flux field doesn't know if it's neodynium, strontium, or ceramic. the fact that a speaker has a neo motor doesn't mean that it's any better; it simply means that it worked best for that application (all marketing aside). there really is no way to tell if the magnet used is suitable without looking at a BL curve or knowing in-depth about the subs existing gap geometry and the flux/vc/magnet interaction.
these are all generalizations; perhaps the best thing to take out of this conversation is that looking at the magnet alone will tell you very very little.

with the exception of the mounting depth and speaker weight, what has changed? nothing about performance at all.
