Probably heavier, though I've not used/owned an RA8x. My main gripe
against the RA60 is the reliability issue. I finally replaced the ones
on our 11/785 last year with a SABB array (4 x RA72s). And you can fit 2
SABB's in the space of one RA60.

The RA-60 packs are cooler looking, though. Even dead ones. :>)
