On a set of quite old kitchen scales, the standard case weighs in at 7lb 14oz.

Thanks.
So 3.5Kgs of neutral swapped for 5.5Kgs with density of 4.5 so about 4.3Kg negative. That's two lumps of lead gone and some will be from the trim weight too. That makes the integrated weights rig over 2Kg lighter but the weightbelt configuration 2Kg heavier (although we might get that back moving trim weights to the belt.).

I'm still not completely convinced although it is very pretty. I see snags with the club's RIB, where I like to hand off as much weight as possible and then I'm the guy underneath pushing so I don't want them to drop it, and will that case slide nicely up the side or will it want to play cheese grater? Also I have concerns about attaching things.
