They are said to be lighter but, they are just out. I would try wait for as long as possible to get the first wave of reports. I have a friend who has one, and he likes it. I saw some in England, and they were looking the business. You would nearly need sunglasses on a sunny day to look at all that composite stuff. The Hyde is tried and tested, and I think that it would be worth sticking to it for now, as what could go wrong?
