Mike,

I have the exact same problem with my giotto medium head so that route 
probably won't do for you. I am seriously looking at the Archatech as 
seems to be relativly light.
As for the QR question, when you are in a hurry (sunsets, sports, ect) a 
good Qr is worth the little added bulk and weight. I think once you use 
one you will be hooked.
