[Elecraft] Weighted Tuning Knobs - Any Consequence?

[Jeff KB2M]

 Oh I don't know about that. With my add on speaker system, and heavy knobs
I can close my eyes and then can't tell if I'm tuning my 9000D or my heavy
knobbed, external heavy dual speakered K3. Yes the heavy knobs add a nice
feel to the K3, if you've got  $100 to spend on something frivolous, you
could easily do much worse...

Yes, you'll be about $100 poorer and have made absolutely no improvement to
the performance or capabilities of your transceiver.
