True, I've always felt the multi rod style stabilisers were too prone to flexing for my liking, so making it lighter may increase this, although they seem to have spaced the rods further apart to compensate. I guess it will depend on what sort of weighting system they provide as to how much control you have over the mass weight, they just look like little spacers on the website.
