OP here.
I'm sorry someone feels like I'm a troll.
But if you read my original post, I asked to not talk about weight.
I don't need a DRW, I just want one (and plan to get one now that I have received feedback that I haven't overlooked anything).
And since I truly don't "need" one there are disadvantages (if I needed one then these wouldn't be disadvantages because I wouldn't have a choice if weight required it).
What I originally listed doesn't scare me enough to shy away from a DRW.
The only other thing I have got from this discussion that i didnt think about was it might cost more for registration/tags (and maybe insurance), but that also doesn't bother me.
Lets keep this discussion on topic.
Thanks for all who have.
