A KISS or a EVO would be a good choice as i think they are much lighter. A Sport kiss even more so. But they all need more lead than OC

Not necessary.

Evo in standard configuration will need more lead than OC since all components are plastics and have low density. Swapping to after-market components later on will drastically reduce the amount of lead required.

Sport-KISS with SS case (instead of AL), SS backplate and SS tanks will be more than sufficient even for trilam. The drawback is higher weight for traveling than with AL case.
