What's the face fabric on the SV like compared to the LT? Is it lighter? Heavier? Tougher?

The Atom SV uses a 30denier face fabric while the Atom LT uses a 20d.

Thanks for your reply Dane, I find your comments and blog most helpful =D It seems weird to me that Arcteryx call the face fabric of the SV "Gossamera" and the face fabric of the LT "Luminara" if they are the same same fabric. But I believe you that they are the same.

Shell material is the same on the SV and the LT. But no stretch panels on the SV. SV shell material is not lighter, heavier or tougher, it is the same.
