Record Weights/Disc Stabilizers

I was curious about folks' takes on record weights/disc stabilizers.  Let me start by saying that I'm not as interested in a disc clamp, although I understand why some prefer them.  I have a turntable (Technics SL-1210G) that can handle up to a 1kg weight so the first question--is more weight always better?  Any differences found in what they are made of (outside of how that affects the weight)?  Anything else I should be considering?

I hope to demo a few but wanted to narrow things down a bit if possible.

Thanks!

@z32kerber I used to own a VPI with had a periphery ring.  I found that to be a giant PITA but agree that it works well.

@macg19 a local dealer had a demo unit that he let me borrow (along with the MoFi).

On both my Technics SP10R and Nantais Ref II Lenco, after trying (and still owning) myriad weights and clamps, including the HRS, I found the Origin Live Gravity One to sound the best. It is also the lightest.

@badgerdms I’ve found the Waynes Audio ring fairly easy to put on and take off. The jig works pretty well.
