the size and weight of this type of cooler is the only thing that is putting me off from getting one
Don't worry about the weight. Its mounting is excellent and doesn't cause any motherboard flexing. Weight isn't as much of a problem as the actual mounting kit. Even the ALC units are worse in that regard. Having used a fair few coolers, the one that cause the most problems aren't the heavy dual tower coolers but the ones with crappy mounting kits.
The Havik isn't even in the same league as the dual tower coolers; Alpenfohn K2, Phanteks, Silver Arrow and NH-D14.

White & red looks nice.
Seriously considering on this or Silver Arrow but anyone have any idea of how it'll fit inside Bitfenix Shinobi? (I have the windowed version.)
Corsair H50 is losing it's appeal and is causing very slight airflow issue so I want something different.

- Was 150 yds from OCUK - now 0.5 mile; they moved
Tiny Toms opinions don't weigh much with me and many at the OcUK HQ! He isn't the most reliable source in my personal opinion.

Any plans on stocking the fans? Any idea how low rpm they will run?

If I were you I would listen to the larger number of other trusted reviews and comparisons that say otherwise and ignore TTL's opinion because that's exactly what it is, his un-proffesional and biased opinion.
And he also compared the Havik to the D-14 and made it look as if it was on par to try and come across as if he wasn't a 'fanboy' of the D-14 to prove a point, and he wanted to get back in to NZXT's pants after shafting them with the H2, even though making out that's exactly what he wasn't trying to do.
Take his reviews and comparisons with a pinch of salt, some are correct and good. But others are complete rubbish and made to suit him and his opinion or revenue off advertising products.
As per the number of professional and trusted reviews/comparisons, the Phanteks is better than the D-14 in performance. And the Havik is far from on par with the D-14 or any of the dual tower coolers.
