Default lite boards?

I've never ridden it, but my guess is the Palmer Honeycomb. They
advertise it as being the lightest on the market. It's pricey, I would
definitely give it a try if I had a chance, wouldn't buy it blind
though... anyone here try it? I would interested in seeing what people
think about it (yes... I really like my new Donek Incline, but that
doesn't mean I'm going to close my eyes to the rest of the snowboard
world). Burton's T6 aluminum honeycomb is similar I think... (not
sure).

Check it out at www.palmerusa.com

Look at reviews for it at

www.boardreviews.com
www.outdoorreview.com

So here's the question everyone is probably thinking... why do you
need the absolutely lightest all-mountain board? With proper
technique, a pound or two difference isn't going to effect you carving
much at all (although powder and tree riding might be affected). The
point is that lighter might be good, so long as it is stiff, can hold
an edge, and doesn't bounce around to much at high speed.

What is the lightest 155ish, all-mountain board on the market? 2003
or 2004 models any brand? I have checked out a lot of web sites but
none give the weights of the boards.
