To me weight matters, I am lucky that to my taste and needs as a player, the 2 arrangers I use are IT.
In the amplification I found the perfect match again, to suit MY needs, the Yamaha EMX 312S and I have 2 Pairs of EV ZX90s, for small to medium audiences I use ONE pair, for the largers, I use the 2 pairs, it works great for me, my competitors have copy my gear since they see how light weight the speakers are and the performance they render, 18Lbs each.
Not long ago, my friend Michael Carollo that is 9 years younger than me, had double hernia surgery, and I know the vehicle type you drive has a lot to do, he has a 4 wheel drive Toyota truck that is kind of high to lift the stuff, I drive a Honda Element that is nice and Low to lift to put my stuff in.
Something to consider too, not just the gear. After all, the "real" physical job is loading, unloading, setting up and undoing it.
