I've been using the Tron LE now for about 6 months and I really like it. The curves on the LE line are all completely off what they say they are supposed to be. The durability is incredible on my LE it has some nasty looking cracks in it and has for about the last 5 skates and has yet to break or feel soft and I haven't been babying it. I just got my warranty replacement on the Elite, broke after about 9 skates, and just blew apart about 4 inches above the blade when it took a slash in mid wrist shot. It is lighter than the LE for sure, but as for the price I would probably just get another LE. I want to say you can get the LE for like 40 dollars right now with some code. EDIT... enter code tronle in coupon code section for 50% off, 39.99. The LE weighed in around 500 grams w/ tape on handle and blade and the Elite weighed in around 455 grams w/ handle and blade taped. I know a few people with the 405 and it is very light, haven't played with it because they were not my hand. Although I know that if you like to cut your stick down the 405 can get rather stiff, but if you cut less that 6 inches off (I think its 6 inches, check before you take my word) and you dont like the stick you can still send it back in 30 days for a full refund. I have noticed that the sticks look a little "shady" above the blade at the fuse point but has yet to be an issue for me. Just scooped up the Phantom Phenom gloves from Hockey Tron for 25 bucks (50 percent off coupon code) and when they got here I had a 14" left hand and 15" right had glove! I e-mailed with a picture of the goof and they e-mailed me back right away and I now have the right hand 14" and left 15" coming in the mail for FREE! I also have the Tron socks and really like them. Have been using them little over a month, 2-3 skates per week. Once again can't beat the price. Unbelievable service from the these guys and you can't beat the prices. They always have crazy daily deals if you are on there e-mail list.
