Looking for second plate shoe

[BALL4]

Have 460 plates shoe, looking for lighter plate shoe, new 460 low cut or 3n2?

I can't speak from experience, but I've heard new 460 lows are light and super-nice.  I've heard 3n2's are light as well, but they don't last more than a year.   I've had experience with other 3n2 gear (jacket) and it's lasted well, but it's not same quality as other coats (Honig's, Smitty) and my old NB plate shoes (450's) have lasted very well and still look great after several years.

My two cents, go with the new low NB 460's.  I know I will be doing that once my old ones are worn out.
