Pulled the trigger. Replacing a raceface SixC bar and Easton Haven stem. The difference is huge. Way more control without any noticeable change in comfort. It's also super light as already noted.

Just way more precision due to stiffness. My old setup on paper should be stiff but it always felt vague, kinda like your front tire was a bit soft. The measurements between the two were all about the same (rise, width etc). Small inputs into the bar result in changes underneath. Kinda like when you get your skis sharpened after neglecting them for too long. Feels good. Pretty similar to my BZA bar stem which I also find precise. That being said, based on my first impression, if I were to choose one set up, it would be DaPackage. Could just be new bling effect though.
