LCA comparison and weights

Does anyone have info on the strength of the tubular LCA like Sphn's versus the rectangular versions offered by Hotchkis and Edelbrock?

Also what is the weight difference if any?

I have the Edelbrock version now and would consider switching to the tubular if the strength was the same and the weight was different.

Our tubular LCAs are 7 lbs. for the pair. (3.5# each)

Have some 8 second customers that haven't hurt them. The LCAs actually don't see alot of abuse, they take a compression (end to end) load. The torque arm takes all the major abuse.
