Head light (balanced weight) 5 ply blades?

   Hi guys
I don't like much head heavy blades because I find it compromises a bit manueverability close to the table. I feel a bit uncomfortable with it.
Then I was wondering what were the blades that felt the lightests (5 ply blades, all wood, no balsa) when playing.

Rubber weight affects the overall balance of the setup, but here I want to focus on blades. 
Weight of rubbers are not much difficult to find out because is something that can be measured. Blade balance is a bit more complicated...you don't have numbers to rely. 

So the question is:

Which 5 ply blades have you played that felt lighter than the actual weight may suggest?
Do you know one that stands out from the rest?
If you have experience with more than one, it would be interesting if you could make personal ranking too. It would be useful to get a better idea of how much "balanced" one blade is compared to other. Since we don't have any numbers to compare, a ranking could be very ilustrative.

Thank you very much
