    If it is only about weight, I am not worried unless I am packing 10,000 ft. of line. Then I would want to filter water along the way. I do find it interesting that a manufacturer's (or wholesaler's?) advertised weight would be that far off. UNLESS that difference in weight means fewer or more fibers, or diameter (strength) of fibers that make up the line. Then, it would matter, because maybe you could derate line by weight.
