I've had some decisions to make on how much I want to spend to save another 4 ounces. There comes a time when it gets ridiculous. In one scenario the difference between the delta in price and delta in weight was $100/ounce! It's probably a good idea to do some calculations of this sort before going wild on the spending.

On the other hand, if you have plenty of money to burn, feel free to enrich the makers of innovative lightweight gear so they can innovate some more. Or send it to me to pay for my gas to drive to Colorado and Wyoming next month for two back-to-back one week backpacks. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
