@dallas, @josephau, you got a point. It looks ugly indeed and It's alway's good to keep the weight as low as possible.
As you wrote: So many experts, so many opinions... indeed.
This woman (

One has to make a choice somewhere. all related to personal needs, what roads one chooses, how fast and driving style i suppose.
