The idea with the new tub is to use the extra weight for a beefier cage along with a cool suit and other odds and ends. I don't want to make it too heavy though.
Thanks for the info.

To give you a bit of reference on the total weight difference for cages done with different tubing, we dropped around 40lbs (+ or - 5lbs) in going from a cage with 1.75"x.120" tubing to a cage with 1.5"x.095" tubing. The cages were a bit different in design, but in terms of total length of tubing used I think there was only around a 5% difference.
