Greetings, 
           
            What do you mean by static weight?

With respect to the question of how many leads it has as much to do with 
position as number and really boils down to the overall front weight of the keys.  
If there are a lot of leads or if they are all pushed way forward on the key, 
a high measured front weight can introduce inertial problems such that even 
if the static weigh-off is light the dynamic performance can suffer from a 
feeling of sluggishess.  That’s why overcoming weight problems by simply adding 
more lead can be counterproductive.  How many leads and their position in the 
key will give you a quick indication if there might be a problem in this area.
