Swinghead jigs- Tungsten vs Lead

How much of a difference have you found using the tungsten swing heads versus the lead?  I loaded up a couple years ago on lead swing head jigs but I keep seeing guys like Mark Zona state the importance of using tungsten.  I plan on using braid/fluoro compared to straight braid for more sensitivity.  I am definitely going to compare the two this season but I am wondering who has already made this comparison.  Thanks for any advice.

    Here's my version of Tungsten vs Lead on a swinghead 

    I use both.

    I use both. The only reason to go tungsten is if that head is not available in lead, or lead is banned in your area.  Otherwise, it doesn't matter much.
