Spec me a gaming mouse

Me friend has a G500 and I like the look of it, but I'd really like to go wireless. I've got a pretty awful desk and the way the wire hangs down to my rig from the keyboard tray causes a lot of drag. I'm going to be using it wired 70% of the time, but then for gaming using it wirelessly to improve the movement.
I've got my eye on the G700 which a competitor has for just under £60, but this doesn't have weights. I wondered if there was anything that had both?

This seems what you looking for but it don't have weights http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-039-RA&groupid=702&catid=23&subcat=1276 I had 1 of these but sold it on mm a bit back as I preferred my g500
Hmm, I think the mamba is too pricey. And none of the others are wireless...
Maybe I can compromise on the weights, just as long as it weighs more than the MX518, which I imagine most wireless mice will due to the battery.
The only thing that puts me off the G700 are the chunky looking buttons near the LMB.
