But I really like the fit and mobility it offers. Not the lightest out there (compared to CCM CL) but it's light for its size. Also isn't the all foam shoulder cap a new technology as well?

Yup to all points brought up.
I took pictures (well my gf did) of me wearing both 20k and AX1. The AX1s "look" better in that they fit really close to the body. That said there are a few issues with protection that I can see (front of bicep, and upper back near shoulders). The 20k's cover both places much better, at the "cost" of not looking as slim. The 20k caps though are a bit big for my liking, but looking at the side profile with them on, they are actually "slimmer" than the chest-back distance. Hard to believe looking at them, but pictures don't lie.
The 20ks are really light. Almost insanely light. When it's on you, it's hard to see the difference vs the CLs. I'm sure though after a game though, the CLs will still be insanely light.
Check out the AX1s. I'm fairly stocky, so a M didn't seem to cover as much as I'd like. But damn they felt so good.
