[Closed] I need a lightweight-ish 1.5 stem

Thought I would save a wedge of cash by getting some 1.5 Lyriks to go on my incoming Mega. BUT... just received my Sunline 1.5 DH stem and it's a bit heavy.
Any ideas on a lightweight alternative?

I think I have an FSA stem that I'm selling if your interested, I can't remember if I sold it or not, I'll check this evening if you're interested. it's 50mm I think

Sunline = 300g which is stupid heavy.
I have a Gravity lite which is about 190g and 60mm long.
Thomson is the lightest I've seen at about 175g but only comes in 45mm.
Truvativ AKA if you want 60mm plus, or Holzfeller for 40-60mm are other options which are not too heavy. I have a 40mm Holfeller which is 215g.
Syncros also make some but watch the year - early ones are heavy.
