...I reckon we're looking at a difference of 5 or 6%, or about the weight of a medium hen's egg.
So the main difference of the smaller size is psychological or aesthetic?
I don't know - I have quite small hands. Like, it-is-necessary-to-find-vintage-gloves hands. I think this instrument was made for someone like me, because I feel like I'm always pushing my hands forward on the grill. But I wondered if it would feel like a toy and throw off one's game. (Not that my game is all that. I haven't been at this very long. But still.)
Unfortunately I'm in the US so I'm not likely to become the owner of this instrument -- but I sure am daydreaming about it. Thank you for weighing it, David Robertson! That's what I would have done, too.
