    Lite or Super Lite?

    Buying a Tikka T3X in 7mm Rem Mag however after yesterday's rainy day visits to Hunting & Fishing and Gun City I'm unsure which version. Lite or Super Lite?

    The standard Lite at $1499 is tempting but was suggested the Super Lite. It's $1599 at H&F and only difference is it's factory fluted so 200g lighter.
    GC suggested their Elite at $1699 which is factory fluted and threaded plus large bolt handle & soft vertical pistol grip.
    GC also had the SFT at $1599 which wasn't fluted but was threaded with Tikka muzzle brake, large bolt handle and the soft removable fore end and soft pistol grip.
    So many choices! Main question is for 7mm Rem Mag is removing front weight via fluting a good idea? I'll add a suppressor so was told it'd help balance. Thinking Gunworks suppressor since they're nearby. Thoughts?
    I liked the wider removable fore end so will add that if the version doesn't come with it.
    Wasn't sure about the vertical pistol grip or not as standard and it both felt ok. Easy to add later.
    And a dumb question I forgot to ask in store, will any of these come with rings or are they always extra?
