Propaganda and BS. We have a Pro and 2 Cats in the household. Never weighed any of them, don't care to either. If one holds more snow then the other, I'm fine with that too. I worry more about keeping my fat a$$ in shape so my gear fits then whether one sled is 20-80 lbs more then the other... I ride the sled that has the best dealer support and after sales service for me.
