Jean-Marie, It's a valid question but I'm unsure if I'm able to answer satisfactorily for you as I can't even for myself. It just felt so heavy to me for it's size & mass when stripped to its core. Still does! Maybe I'm weaker than I believed. Or I'm losing it. As I said in an earlier post if it were to have felt only a percentage heavier or even double I might not have noticed. But to have felt like a component made from a metal over 3X as heavy as it should is puzzling to me. I have no explanation behind that and apparently have no business guesstimating weights or the heft of an object these days. Old age, senility, prattle-mindedness, amnesia? It's crossed my mind.
