I couldn't agree more. I recently picked up some Vislero 2100 maH, 20C packs from Paul. It added *allot* of weight to the Edge - but contrary to intuition, it actually makes it fly better! I am flying the dog poo out of mine, and loving every minute of it!

On a calm, no wind day, the lighter weight 1320's are great. That said, the plane definitely snap rolls and spins better with the extra weight regardless of the winds. Today, I was flying in gusty 15 mph average (gusts were easily hitting 25 and of course, variable). Can't say enough about the extra weight; had I only had the 1320's, I would have considered myself grounded.
And that brings up another point; I don't have another model I would risk in these kinds of winds. But for crying out loud, the carcasses are shy of $70 and a few hours to build. If you trash one, no tears; CA it back together and put it back up. If it's really bad... just order another one and nash your teeth while waiting for it to arrive! And by the way, this is precisely why I have a spare on hand... :D
