I can kind of understand why Lindsey doesn't feel the same about Neji's death vs Chouji's but at the same time Neji is awesome. To lose him right as he turned a new leaf would be a terrible loss. He's strong, reliable, think about how Lee Guy and TenTen would feel, plus he's a genius who people look up to. Personality-wise he's unique and has his charm. He's a mellower Sasuke which is good.
