My Storia Lok V3 in the same 205mm trunnion weights about 700g with a 425\# spring, which is also about the same weight as the new RS Vivid Air in that size. Unless you really need the tunability of air (or dual pos air), I'm not seeing a reason to switch from Storia, or buy the Aria to begin with?
Weight difference between coil and air becomes more pronounced with heavier spring rates, but how much does a 100kg rider care about another 100g of steel - plus the Aria would start needing ludicrous levels of air pressure.
