Record Weights/Disc Stabilizers

I was curious about folks' takes on record weights/disc stabilizers.  Let me start by saying that I'm not as interested in a disc clamp, although I understand why some prefer them.  I have a turntable (Technics SL-1210G) that can handle up to a 1kg weight so the first question--is more weight always better?  Any differences found in what they are made of (outside of how that affects the weight)?  Anything else I should be considering?

I hope to demo a few but wanted to narrow things down a bit if possible.

Thanks!

@badgerdms I’ve found the Waynes Audio ring fairly easy to put on and take off. The jig works pretty well.

I have both. I got a Wayne’s Audio periphery ring. It made a difference in sound. But another benefit of a center weight and ring is how they combine to flatten a record. Just make sure the beating on your TT is stout enough to handle the weight.
