Post Aerodynamics/Stability question

Hello Everyone,
1. Neutral point is defined as the CG position when the sum of the changes in the tail moment and wing moment caused by a gust is zero.
2. Manouevre point is defined instead as the CG position when the tail moment equals the wing moment while manoeuvring.

I guess the main difference stays in the fact that the first one does relate to 1g flight, the second doesn't ... is that right ?

Thanks in advance,
fredgrav
