Response to DV Steadicam

Hi, I've been shooting with a Xl1 for a while now and I was looking to buy, the steadicam DV to use with it, So I did my homework and found out that about 8 out of every 10 people I talked to said that the Xl1 is to heavy, I called the company and the guy I talked to even told me that the Xl1 is to heavy. So I bought a Glidecam V- 8, which I'm very happy with, but it costs more and it doesn't come with a monitors, and you just about have to buy a monitor for it in my mind, but in my opinion the glidecam is a more profession rig, it comes with a vest, spring loaded arm, and sted, but it takes alot of pratice to get good.
