Its going to be quite a bit as one is made from a chunk of metal whereas the other is made from the trampled hopes and dreams of children

Exactly, hardly a fair comparison! Also, the Super Record was one of the lightest available back then - don't know if the FSA is as high on the current lightness scale.
Carbon's not always about lightness (according to the marketing) in this case it's about comfort.
But I do take your point, I was amazed at how heavy the Campag 10 speed aluminium rear mechs were compared to my old Super Record (180g) when I went all modern.
The carbon ones were up to 30g lighter but with the move to 12 speed the frankly very ugly current SR is the same weight as my ancient pretty one.
Mark.
