I can say, to add to the thread, that I have a 4945 (restricted version), and I don't find it too heavy. I can also say that it is very reliable (which is something that I can't say about my FX-9 which cost more than twice as much $$). There's no denying that the 4945 isn't exactly pretty, but it flat out works and is pretty much the cheapest PCC out there.
