Just as an added thought.... He is going too far in the "stout" direction. These things are way overbuilt and as a result, too heavy, or at least heaveir than they ought to be. I know they don't care about that, but at the end of a long day, that is when you start to notice the weight. I used think, well, I'll just get 5 lbs lighter and it's a wash, but it doesn't work that way for some reason. My .02, YMMV.
