I believe that Ne6 is not GM style move.
There is no reason to calculate complex lines of Ne6 when there is a simple way
to win material and the games.

I believe that GM calculate complex lines when they need them to win the game
but they are smart enough not to do it when there is another simple way to win
because the target in the game is to win and it is better to be more sure of
winning.

When you calculate a complex line there is a risk that you are wrong so it is a
bad idea to do it when you have another good option.

Here is some analysis of Deep Fritz

After 15:46 on P8000 I asked it for next best

You can see that from Deep Fritz's point of view both moves win material when
Nb5 wins slightly more material

Ne6 wins 1.88 pawns at depth 15 when Nb5 wins 2.41 pawns at depth 15 and 2.28
pawns at depth 16.
