For the added strength of the DSS 9', the added weight doesn't bother me. it's to be expected.

When I made the switch, I also switched to 17" Welds (not skinnies) and only gained 20 pounds. For the extra insurance, it was well worth it plus I have a lot more gear now to get the pig out of the barn.

The added advantage of having DSS back their parts is a big plus.
