I'm most curious to see how they handle the relationship of stiffness and weight because for a long time, the only way to get Vaughn pads to be stiff was to end up with crazy heavy pads. My V9's were spec'd to be Extra Stiff, I just kinda said "F it, why not." And those things are so damn heavy. Funny though, my reaction was "alright that's it, jumping to Bauer" and not "alright, that's it, jumping to SLR."
