that list is riddled with errors
if you want to know how much it weighs find someone who has one, and weigh it

Not terribly constructive ...

Let's face it most people don't want to actually know what the riser actually weighs unless they're trying to settle a bet or they're a trainspotter! They generally want an indication of whether it's heavier or lighter than something else they're considering. The list is perfectly adequate for that, and the Matrix weights, which is what this post is about, are spot on.

alright, say you were trying to decide between a Samick Masters or a Matrix.

you'd conclude that you wanted the Samick Masters, as the list says it's significantly lighter. however, you'd end up with something significacntly heavier, because your list is wrong.

good shooting

Two points:

1) malcofsale wanted to know the weight of a Matrix, the Matrix weights are correct

2) it's not my list.

Also, if you are aware of any obvious errors and you post corrections in this thread then Murray might pop over to Sagi (if we ask him nicely) and edit the list

Just playing Devil's Advocate, but I think the point being made was that if some of the weights on the list are shown to be inaccurate, then how can one be sure which are correct and which are not and therefore place any confidence in the list as a whole?
