I wish they were, as an option which I would be happy to pay for. I didn’t choose Al for its lower price, but for being more lightweight than the other versions.
I always thought this myself. I would never choose any of those materials over aluminum due to weight, but I would gladly pay more for the lighted switch option also.
I’d say if price is not a “concern”, the cu+ti weight must be close to the AL… maybe? Albeit a different balance of weight, titanium is a decent degree lighter then AL, I believe. I’m sure someone who have both can verify this for us?
I emailed Hank and asked if a backlit switch would be an option on the standard D4V2 and his reply was that there were no plans to do it. That was a few months ago though. I’m holding out and not ordering anything else, because every time that I do the upgrades are always out minutes after I get my shipping notice.
I’m about to the point where I’m going to order every light Hank sells with every emitter he has. I love my D4V2 and my 2000k KR4. I should do the math on that
