Well Al to each his own but I spent 5 years obsessing over every once of weight that went into the bird. (Brendan said my XL was in the top 5 lightest non-factory XL's) The thought of carrying 25# of utterly useless weight around everywhere I go kinda makes me feel queasy. :-) 

Man that is a suitcase worth of weight. Just wasted? All the time? <shiver> 

Like I said though, to each his own.
