    Actually, for balancing, it is really not that much better than nickelsilver or something else.
    It's only a couple of grams, and the difference between lead and a slightly thicker subsitute is negligible.

    Doesn't matter. A spacer sized piece of lead will only be a couple of grams heavier than a spacer sized piece or nickel silver.
