I really don't know which would be heavier or which would make you happier. I was being somewhat flippant, because I didn't like my Cross Checks much, and I would expect to like a LHT less. Just one person's opinion. I don't know your 830 well and probably haven't tried one. My wife has a 1995-ish 820, and it's good for what it is, but it's quite heavy.
