I wouldn't recommend that anyone purposely weight the figures, weight the bases instead. Lower weight is usually better anyways for stability (higher moment of inertia). Also, don't assume that each player needs to be 4.0. If you have a slippery reciever in a 3.2 league then he'll still be slippery when playing against 4.0 figure (just do a quick test to verify it). I've actually noticed weight is great for speed more than power since the heavier weight adds stability to the stiffer (and usually more vertical) fast prongs. Power is created by thin rear prongs that drag which can be achieved thru tweaking. Weight simply increases the friction so of course it can help strength too but tweaking is the most significant factor. My other experience is that a tweaked base for a 3.2 figure can at times have prongs that are too weak to benefit from added weight (although this is rare). Therefore it can be benefitial to have the weight added while tweaking.
