More important to me then weight is balance.

If a cue is balanced well, it makes all the difference. I like my cues to be forward balanced.

I own and play with cues from 18 - 20 oz and it does not take that much time to get adjusted to the weight differences.
 
My cues are between 19 and 19.5oz. I prefer forward balanced cues with no weight bolt (or as little as possible) since I am not very tall and grab the cue a little more forward than other people, so it's very important to not feel the weight bolt "back there". Proper balance and weight distribution are one of the biggest differences between great cues and good ones.

My Main Playing Cues are both 22.6 ozs. and 60" long. I have always played
with Heavy Cues. In my heyday, I played with a Harvey Martin that was 23 ozs.
and Custom built for me.
 
My playing cue is 17.5oz, and my break cue is 16oz. If I were to choose a house cue I'd go for 17-18oz. Can't play with anything heavier.
 
My playing cue weighs in at exactly 19.0 oz with the shaft that I prefer. I can pick up another cue of mine of the same weight but don't care for it nearly as much. The balance point is completely different between the two along with the diameter of the butts.
 
I always buy heavy and remove the bolts.
I used to play heavy, but as my game has improved I like the finess I get with a lighter cue.
