My Alcon feels about the same as a standard clutch weight-wise. The clutch control is comedy-learner-driver stuff but I'm told it's better than an AP one for that kind of thing!

Mine has started slipping really badly though, but I'm hoping the oil leak at the back of my head has somehow leaked oil down onto the flywheel and that's causing it...
