They are still pretty heavy.
Info on the 'net says the 99s weigh about 22 lbs, the 301 - 16 lbs. Does that sound in the ballpark?
But, Featherweight, I think it was you or Miz Johnny who mentioned how ubiquitous 99s are, which "should" make it more economical. (Plus, the hand crank option is very appealing, too.)
