    I can't find it listed on the Dell site.

    Edit: Ah I see, it's not on the Dell site when you search for it...but it comes up if you Google it. Right-o!

    I have a hard enough time lugging my R3 around. The size of that thing is just too much. If I decide I want a DR to go along with my R3 than this will be the choice but I need portability that this monster just does not have.

    I was referring to weight, more apples to apples, or Aluminum to Aluminum. I didnt say the plastics were bad, even though I wouldnt change for the world now. I would really have been disappointed if the M18x was plastic. The Aluminum gives a heartier/quality feel that plastic cant match , for me. Helps me validate the cost.
    IMO.

    wonder what the weight difference would be if they used plastic instead though?
