Ya, I too prefer the planted feel of nice chunky well damped rubber, but I also notice how less playful and nimble said rubber feels. Honestly depends mostly on my mood, if I'm looking to overland and juggernaut through terrain on a long ride I'm ok with the greater weight which sounds counterintuitive but having that increased stability when I'm getting tired and sloppy helps. It's been many months since I've been on such a ride though (sadly) so for the 2-3 hour sprints at our local I slot in when I can I want lite n' sprite.
