Not really in my experience. It’s marginally heavier of course, but not to a noticeable extent. Ergonomically it’s easy to get used to, and possibly more secure in fast passage work. My own preference would be for a standard thumb ring though, rather than the plateau thumb key, which would be an easy modification, albeit moving away from being a full plateau instrument. And finger-assisted glissandos still work, although it’s slightly different technique from the standard instrument, so you can still start Rhapsody in Blue!
