👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I'm not saying I wouldn't change places with a soft handed range rover driver given the chance though!!

Light weight equipment is simply a derivative of engineering excellence. To be critical of an object that can achieve the same strength and function of another weighing twice as much,is a gross example of ignorance.

 

If a Boeing 777F can carry a payload of 103,000kg from Hong Kong to Torronto,operating a thousand functions,who except for a Luddite would question the research and design of a multinational company whos product contains two moving parts?

I agree totally Mike.

If it has the same longevity and costs the same then yes, if it's lighter, more expensive and less durable then perhaps no.

 

You can usually apply the saying 'Strong, Light, Cheap, pick any 2'.

I recognise that pic. Yeh I put it on yesterday and its effing great. Will last forever too. :001_cool:

I'm not saying that lightweight is bad , it's just sometimes there's a trend to be lighter then your competitors.
