Matt,

I can't think of another drive that would be lighter than a WCD other than a super pocketed sheet drive. I'm curious to see the weight comparison and sheet drive.

But WCD is decently light due to the fact:

-No outer Railing
-Minimal amount of parts.
-Smaller parts: Wheels/Sprockets/Gearboxes etc....

We switched over to WCD in the fall of 2010. Never looked back (thanks 973!), its such a nice system that 254/968 has perfected over the years.

-RC
