Anyone know the weight difference between the 2 set ups ?

Not sure of the weight difference, but Performance of Floats overall is a bit exaggerated in my opinion. I didn’t notice a huge advantage, however I did not play too much with the Chamber rates as the air pump is a bit of a pain.
The lock out works great and a must on 155 for me so it is my main reason to upgrade.
I also prefer having 3 positions for the style of riding we do. It’s just easier.
I actually ordered the QS Zero Signature Version for my new sled, as I think its easier to adjust rate on the fly using a spring, and don’t need to carry a pump.

Pump is a PITA. Eleven seasons on multiple float setups. Love floats on the front - the progressive range can be setup soft for tip-in, but can take big hits before bottoming. Don't care how they corner on a trail - and can keep the stab bar in. Rears - meah, nothing special. QS lockout on rear is a great feature, float or not. Weight difference with lighter springs is meaningless, unless your CB, otherwise it's in your head.

Didn't get the floats, but got the coil over and I definitely could tell the difference. Great shocks for the price

Thinking about the Iceage Khaos conversion, guessing the QS lockout shocks would be the finishing touch to the kit?
Not a float fan, like others have said, air pump is a pita. Currently have Raptor Kinetics, but the lockout feature would be nice to "tame" the Khaos down if necessary..?

The lockout is a VERY nice feature to have on a khaos, especially on a 155 length sled. Ive run that combo on my NA axys khaos for 2 seasons and loved having the lockout as an option. Opted to keep my stock khaos shocks in my 22 boost and I don't hate the WE shocks but i Definately miss lockout for making the thing go up when its time to get serious and climb out of something.
