Viking joint 1 compare to Lucasi or Predator uni-locs?

[racer rx]

I was thinging of getting a new cue... but want a well balanced cue.
How does the Viking joint 1 compare to the Lucasi or Predator Uni-locs...?

In terms of weight? And reliabilty?
My girlfriends cue "Lucasi" has a uni-loc but that add so much weight to the center of the cue. I think the Predators do the same....

Will the Viking add allot of weight to the center or joint of the cue like the Lucasi or Predator?

Other then holding one in my hand to check out the Lucasi Uni-Loc, I've never actually hit a ball with one. The only Viking joints that feel a little heavy are the stainless steel joints. The others feel very light. I do like the Viking quick release, but it sure would be nice if they would come out with joints similiar to the Lucasi or Predator uni-locs. Those really are sweet. I dont think the designs on the Lucasi or Predator come anywhere close to as beautiful as the Vikings though.
