Actually, your current stand weighs just a bit less than 2 pounds. 1 pound and 15 ounces to be precise. This weight includes the mounting hardware too.Are you saying it looks worse in that regard than other stands, like the Kent Tooling?
My only experience is with my current rEvo (Mini) with a Don Six stand on it. That stand is stainless and weighs, well, I don't know exactly, but I guess at least a couple of pounds. It is great to have when my rEvo is sitting on a boat bench and I'm trying to get into it. SO much easier than getting into with no stand!
As for the placement of the weight, well, I usually use no weight at all and have no problem hovering motionless and in trim. I attribute some of that to having a Nomad XT wing on my unit, which puts more lift in the lower part, to hold up the tail. Regardless, I'm good with the placement of the weight of the stand - on my Mini, anyway. I just got a Micro that I have not dived yet. What is required to get it to trim out remains to be seen.
I am hoping the rEvo stand is titanium. If it's stainless, then I'll be debating between another DSIX or the Kent Tooling.
I can make custom heights if you need something special.
