So lighter bar pressure than the original method and a little more stable at the edge of the window is what I'm reading? I remember those being 2 traits that were brought up here when the original kite came out. Sizing still the same as the first version?

My thoughts: - Most of us 'mortals' are not going to notice the difference in performance - I can't believe that weight is much of an issue either - If the inserts are there you have the choice to use them or not use them.
