I'm just curious. I have started my CLC Mill Creek 13 and am wondering what are the advantages in pulling out the wire besides a weight savings of a pound or two? I have not yet reached the stitching stage (Still cutting out parts).

CLC says just grind off and glass over them, others say heat and pull them out.
