This article was published on 13 March. It's been known for 5 days (as of the time of this comment) that the difference in weight is due to the Ultra variant's using a copper heat sink, as opposed to an aluminum one. The whole article has this kind of feeling of off-the-cuff, underinformed pontification, and I don't think it's a very good one.
