p.s. A self-proclaimed mask junkie who can't make up his mind which one he likes the best. (Wilson single bar, Wilson titanium, All Star double bar, Gerry Davis super-light, gray, black, navy...)

I have had trouble settling on a mask as well. I currently have a Wilson Dyna Lite with Amara Suede Wrap Around pads. I contemplated getting a Honig's single bar mask with doeskin pads. In my experiences, I have noticed the Wilson frame is slightly heavier than the Honig's frame but the Honig's doeskin pads are heavier than the Amara wrap around pads - I loved the doeskin pads on an old All Star Double Bar mask frame I wore for several years but ditched that frame because I was concerned it was "too light." When I tried switching the Honig's pads on the Wilson frame I couldnt believe how heavy the mask was. After taking some getting used to - I think the Wilson Dyna Lite is the best "value" in both price and protection/durability. I really wish Wilson would still make the traditional squared off pads in black leather.

I am uneasy about spending around $200 on a titanium frame mask.
