I don't know the exact weight, but I held one once and found it a bit too heavy. Since it's only handheld, I believe it could hurt your arm if you carry it for long. I'd vote for the DE.Can someone pleae tell me the weight of the epi speedy 30? My epi speedy 25 weighs 524.46 grams. Alos, should I buy a epi speedy 30 pre loved in black or an damier ebene 30 for a new job I am starting? Thank you everyone.
