I personally like Spoon, but i've heard the Toda weighs almost nothing.

some people like it very lightweight, and some people feel that you shouldn't go lighter than a certain weight.

oh well. don't you think spoon could've made the flywheel lighter? why did they stick to that weight? there's a reason for it.

There is effectively no difference. They weigh within a pound of each other and they are simply weights with a friction surface on a starter gear. Both companies make top quality stuff. I bought Toda because it was available immediately, if both are available get the cheapest.

I would think a 1 pound difference would matter....

I still say they are effectively the same.. they are both made of the same material. The Spoon is 63% the weight of stock, the Toda is 56% the weight of stock. I guarantee that no one will ever know the difference in the weight.. it is less than a full pound. Once installed you won
