The stubby is about 100g lighter than saddles/stick. If you put that 100g back on using dense ballast flat on the chassis, the CoG drops.

Also, with a bit of dremelling the stubby sits a few mm lower in the chassis than a normal stick pack (as the chassis curves up at the edges), so there's a gain there too. This can also be done with saddles, but requires a bit more dremelling.
