Pros:
- Less weight means that the arm has less tendency to fall down due to gravity. I like to have the arm always close to my hand.
- I expect that I will have to replace the Torque Bushings less often, due to the reduced weight of the arm.
- I like the touch of the rubber when holding the arm, and it gives me the sense of having more micro-control, but that may be subject to personal preferences.
Cons:
- Less ?Fluttering?: I?ve made an A/B comparison with the original arm, and I?ve noticed that it slightly reduces the tremolo fluttering. That can be a consequence of having less weight on the arm.
This can turn into an advantage for those who dislike fluttering.
(?flutter? is the micro-oscillations that occur on the floating bridge when it returns to its neutral position.)
