it's all about your uses. if a roof rack (that you will load time to time) and hauling gear (even camping/backpacking) gear is in your future, consider the heavies, specially since you won't be weighing down the front significantly
The only times I've had the rear sag a little was with 5 climbers and full mountaineering/camping gear. Roof rack was loaded too. I was also carrying the "kitchen" and food for 7 more climbers. Rig was still manageable.

Usually its loaded with dive gear and 3-4 divers. Sometimes with tanks. No sag and no excessive cornering lean w the 860s.
