i think im gonna go ahead and buy the MZE, i was just wondering if you have to put the overdraw plate on it, it seems like it would cut the weight down a lot with it not on there.
The plate is not a critical part and does not need to be instaled , but , dont try and get the hook too close to the risor without it because that limits the travel and function of the rest .

Though it has been awhile since I had a zero effect I don't seem to remember the overdraw plate really weighing that much actually. I did what you suggested when I had the rest setup on one of my bows and actually reinstalled the overdraw plate as I did not think it made a significant difference.
