It weighs nearly 200 kilos more than an Elan, it needs that extra weight to provide a comfortable area for the unfortunate owner to curl up inside and blub at his/her stupidity for thinking it would be easier to work on than an Elan.

I have one of each, they are both challenging to keep them on the button even with longer service intervals provided by modern running gear :D
