I don't believe the Palomino is a higher end brand. Lighter usually means cheaper made if you are comparing size for size. The Lance will be one of the higher end brands from construction methods and weight. Lance switched from using all wood framing to aluminum back around 2005. If you are serious about the Lance get the serial number and call the factory in California and see if they can advise you on the framing material. Wood rots, aluminum won't!
