Scuse me Jon, but Stanwoods guide to maximum leads is hardly equivalant to loading
hammers up to the hilt in lead. And existing backweight down to at least key 77
can hardly be desirable either.  A SW curve on the dividing line between heavy and
medium weights does not represent Heavy hammers.  Nor is a Yamaha G5 exactly a
small piano.

Lets keep things off the personal side alright ? Besides,  I asked an
understandable question in what seemed like an obvious self contradiction.
