I don't recall the thread, but just recently Dave N. (Researcher) noted the change in weight of Flues models over the time of their production. According to him they beefed up (my words, not his) the frames and corresponding overall weight of the later Flues models. I don't note this as a reply to the original question, but just for reference. I see no reason to tempt fate with loads that may damage an old double.
