Most anything heavier than tungsten is mind bogglingly expensive (only Icon pilots could even consider it) or toxic or both. >It say's it's 30% heavier then lead. Lead is about 11.3 grams/cc. (Steel is about 7.8 grams/cc and aluminum around 2.7 grams/cc, titanium comes in at 4.5 grams/cc and tin at 7.3 grams/cc.) There are heavier metals than lead but I doubt if many are cheaper.
