There is obviously no right or wrong here. We've had this discussion and even had an online vote on this subject not too long ago. The problem with the online vote thing is that we don't always get to hear opinions. I respect those who share (and explain) their opinion and to be honest my favorite style is weighted (mainly 4.0 or at least anything 3.5 or 3.6+) because I feel that the players run the smoothest on my big boards as well as 620s. The weighted players have the ability to be much more balance when done with a low center of gravity. Its plain and simple, more weight low creates more stability and hence becomes more balanced which is a good thing when these little players are on a vibrating board. The other thing is that I like the 28mm figures (not the little Miggle guys and the hati repro blockers) and I love customizing so naturally the 2.0 figure is more restricting to me personally. I also like the figure + base total weight rule rather than seperate figure and base weight limits because I believe it opens the door for creativity. I also understand the concern people have with adding weight but I feel that tweaking is far more complex than adding weight and my experience with added weight is that it actually makes tweaking easier. Somebody want to come out with heavier bases? They would work better, I can almost guarantee it. I've said this before, I think that if we had a large scale manufacturer creating real growth in the hobby then their equipment would probably become more of the standard.
