One point that has barely been mentioned is stabilizing this weight. In a knockdown shifting 800 lbs of extra ballast might prove a hazard. Not to mention I wonder what damage a sizable chunk of lead would do to what got in its way in such circumstances...
I have to wonder how poor your performance is with 4 people (sizable adults I guess)in the cockpit. Are you racing? If not, is the added cost, hazard, etc, worth the questionable added performance?
