The QB has a hollow spindle which should offset the weight of the cups. The 7922 has a solid axle.
Thanks ThermionicScott for the heads up on the Tange-Seiki catalogue. The top of the line model looks great for the weight weenies — Ti hollow spindle.
Use grease, not anti-seize unless you're dealing with Italian threads.
