The Revolution has 100 lbs more carrying capacity than the Sport, but it
does weigh 10 lbs more and is nearly 4 feet longer. The extra capacity seems
valuable to me but I'm not sure it would be worth the increased wrestling
aboard problems. The additional length may be more problematical than the
weight. I'd be interested in seeing your storage system.
