Default Razer Copperhead mouse

I picked up this Razer Copperhead mouse the other day to replace my aging Razer Karna Boomslang, and even though I like the new mouse, why is it that makers of new mice seem to always make them so damn light? This thing weighs nothing! My old Boomslang was made properly - with a 1.2 ounce (34 gram) weighted ball. There is no other way to get consistent head shots precisely with a low weight mouse - any pro gamer knows this. It removes the smoothness from your actions (Now you know my secret if you've ever played me - I've been accused of cheating over it due to my precision - outside of my precise twitchery (like that word?), the other part of my accuracy comes from my mouse, so if a good mouse is cheating, I am guilty as charged!). Razer obviously knows the mouse is too light since they released a Pro-Tools kit for installing weights, etc.

Now the kicker! - If you install the weights, this requires opening up your mouse for installation, which VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY! Nice! Can you beleive that? Logitech knows better - they made their G5 with customizable weights that can be installed from the outside - too bad they are not centered though - they are at the rear end of the mouse (wrong spot! Centered is more appropriate!). Also, the Logitech is lacking the fine X/Y axis control as found in the Razer, as well as its comfort - so there is really only one mouse to have right now, it's the Razer Copperhead. This weight thing though irks me! I'm going to be out $100 if this thing dies 2 months from now!

Anyway, should I be upset about this?

Anyway, I'll quit complaining about it, just that I think this is pathetic. Here is what the back of my Pro-Tools box says so you can see it in big yellow writing:
