Default 9'' questions for the racers

Anyone happen to know the weight difference between the aluminum center sections and the nodular iron ones? And the weight difference between Moser and Strange?

As I understand it - the Moser aluminum case is stronger than the Strange, but would either be acceptable for a daily driver car that goes to the track say 2 times a month?

Also - has anyone used lightened gears? If so what kind of difference did it make? I figure the lightened set would be a little more fragile - true??

Thanks

Ok - finally got the Strange catalog to load up.

Strange:
Pro series iron = 33.5 lbs
S-Seris iron = 26.7 lbs
Aluminum = 13.5 lbs <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> - but more wear on the gear set <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Moser:
Iron - 40 lbs
Aluminum - 18.8 lbs.
