I also don't think that the quality of the materials is significantly different. Weight does not always indicate quality.
The price jump for a deluxe from $20 to $30 is ridiculous, however. I can't imagine that this will live past the movie stuff. Although price creep is inevitable, because… inflation. (If you aren't convinced, go ask your father how much a candy bar was in "his day").

Chug deluxes seemed stuck at 15.99 for a lonnnng ass time. Then they jumped to 17.99 for cw, and now 19.99. so four bucks in three years, but after a lengthy period where the price held. Voyagers are still thirty. Leaders at sixty, no electronics, is probably the toughest for me to swallow. They were, what, fifty? Albeit it wasn't a common class size in chug until recently.
So hopefully deluxes hold at 20. And seriously, with regular sales and the 45 day low price guarantee, I never pay full retail at Tru. Everything is 25% off or more.
