Hi Lou, Not sure about the 4-5 grams (which seems like a lot!) but, different size styli are very handy for things like avoiding the wear pattern on wide groove discs. One does not have as many choices when it comes to micro groove discs but different sizes can help there too. Different shapes can help as well. It's all about getting the best possible result.
