I totally agree with you that a lot of these laws are going to change and rapidly. But, on the issue of weight from my experience flying rc helicopters and planes, if you are planning to do photography with this or use it for business purpose I would get the heaviest one you can afford. I've got some super light Helis and foam planes that are a blast to fly, but I can only fly them a few times a year in our area. The wind is just too strong all the time to safely fly them.
