Are you referring to the later generation Jubilee with the drilled cage? Like I said I think that most drillium looks pretty lame, I was talking about the original Jubilee. Tuning, in my vernacular, means modification to achieve light weight, whether it be removing material that's not structurally necessary or in the case of the Jubilee stripping the design down to the bare minimum required for operation. It's heavier because they beefed up some of the components to make it more rugged, not related in any way to the holes in the cage, and not about style. So in my estimation, the later one is de-tuned for increased reliability.
