And I'll use both sets at a practice event. Going from one set to the other is a night and day difference in responsiveness. The heavier wheels feel sluggish in every way possible.

It might take a run to recalibrate your inputs, but again, no real obvious measurable difference in times.
Do you think this could be you as a driver stuck in certain driving habits? Or just a toss and really it's preference?

Maybe it's even the environment in which your comparison exists. AutoX vs Track results could vary.
