[LargeFormat] I misspoke

No need to forgive. "2 stops more light" is perfectly acceptable, but 
for me "2 stops more expensive and 2 stops heavier" would have left 
people confused and led to a lot of extraneous and superfluous 
posts...ahem....

And while we are on the superfluous.... a random check of ebay found 
one 90mm grandagon sold for 495.00 and 10 regular(non super) 90mm 
Angulons sold in prices ranging from a low of $70.95 to a high of 
$350.00  which makes it a range from 7 times down to 1.414 times the 
price.  An average of $147.32

It's too bloody early to convert that to stops.
