Did you get and answer on this? If not, the answer is "nothing." The NR (really just R) is a chromed steel cage pedal, the SL is anodized aluminum. If you want light, go with the SL. If you want durable (as in a cage that will stand up to alloy cleats) go for the Record. The quality is the same. Same guts. Oh yeah, older Records had steel caps, but the later ones used the plastic SL cap.
