Heavy Uprights

jon3613Member

I did a search on uprights and found one mention of replacement, and it is a very nice steel weldment.
I am surprised the weight of the cast iron upright isn't common a topic here. I thought the upright and disk assembly was heavy for un-sprung weight. I didn't actually weight the assembly after removing but it felt heavy getting it to the bench. I searched the common venders but didn't see any aluminum versions, but I did find this: http://www.epantera.com/suspension.htm

Is the weight of the upright a reasonable concern?
If I fabricated an aluminum weldment would that be overkill?
