Q change vs 9"

[tumbleweed]

What is the weight difference between the two, if any? Is it true that there is more "drag" with the Q change? Advantage being ease of changing gears and more ratio selection?

I have never weighed the 2 but they should be close with the QC having the aluminum center section and all. As for drag, the QC will have slightly more drag but I cannot tell any difference and doubt you will either.
