I agree Stonebeard, it's more a sound and to me the typical neo-prog sounds in general: more rocky guitar work and tighter rhythm-section, more polished/predictable, more melodic and short head-and-tail soli. And neo-prog is a confusing category because there's so much difference between on one hand early Marillion and IQ and on the other hand bands like Arena, Winter, Clepsydra and Landmarq.

I just had to comment on this, about the rhythm or bar..

Neo-prog bands often play in 7/8 or 5/8, SO... IQ, Pendragon, Collage, to mention a few. To consider neo-prog as simplistic is far too one-sided.

Many symphonic-prog bands have albums, on which no odd rhythm (which without any doubt is charasteristic for prog in general) occur.

pure neo prog bands are sympho-free & metal-free.
 
the best example is definitely CLEPSYDRA, one of the most true & pure neo-prog band!
