What weight issue is there? Missed that but can’t imagine any issues of weight really. In my experience (having done it both ways) you get a more consistent tension in the leather with new, it’s neater, faster (not slower anyway), easier, similar cost and, as I mentioned, if you install a new Renner tray at some point you avoid problems with the backchecks hitting the sostenuto rod. Plus, you don’t have to worry about gluing your fingers together.

Just wondering.
