And there's an element of luck to get one for over 200.

I'm sure now someone will reply and tell me about the perfect hinoki they got for under $100, but it's gotta be rare.
 
For Cho Tokusen,  9mm blades around 80g is very common, under 75g is rare. 
 
I am not too obsessed with the weight of the blade. In fact, I prefer to use a blade+rubber combination of around 140 g.  However,  as I use 2 rubbers of  40g  each, so with a 90g blade the total weight would be 170g, which would be a bit on the heavy side.
 
I think iruiru has now adopted a new policy of not slecting blades for customes, so every customer would have a equal chance of getting a good blade.  It is a wise move provided that they apply it to ALL of their customers.

Cole_Ely,
Playing with a blade over 90 grams creates arm pain for me (afterwards), but changing it to 80 grams or less, there is no arm pain, so I have to be careful about the weight.

This could be a good advertisement for Nittaku !

My Nittaku Cho Tokusen Excellent A (btw, nice/sweet name!) wif Friendship 729 Higher 2.2 is 107g, so if u add another 1.8 or 2.0 whatevr rbr on BH for RPB play, the total wt. would still be acceptable. But u have to trim/shave/sand a chunk of the cork sheet off the BH which I've bn reluctant to do. Just not the way to mess around with a gem like this. Also that Kokutaku 10 wif Bryce hard totalled around 116g, again it'll still be acceptable/manageable if I were to slap on a sheet of 1.8/2.0 Rbr on BH. I figure it's kinda awkward to play rpb wif jpen as the grip/handle seems to hinder the play, I could be wrong since I've nvr tried b4.

Yes, It will be a very good combination.
 
I will probably keep the cork untouched and cut the rubber around it. I know it is not legal to the the label on the rubber cutted out, but I am not playing in any major competion, so no body would care. In doing this, I would be able to reduce the weight a bit more.
 
It is OK to play RPB with Jpen, just a matter of getting use to it. I have a robot for training, after some weeks, now I feel quite comfortable with the Jpen on RPB.
