Oh, for sure. What is "porky" in any set is relative to everything else in the set. Enve's are still way lighter than most. They are with out question a premium product. I wouldn't trade mine for anything, either.
I mostly referenced the weight to give a sense of scale to the OP & to provide a transition mechanism to the Ax-Lightness & Darimo options on the market.
The Easton 100's linked to by the other poster do look like they will garner a lot of attention among the weight conscious. Same price as the Enve, but nearly an ounce lighter. The times are getting interesting indeed.
