I have a long kick-eze and spacers on my 12 bore C grade 870. The weight is not so much an issue since the gun is heavy already. Sometimes it feel butt-heavy with a 26" barrel. Then I switch to the 30".

I would not subject a fine double to a long pad if at all possible.

The problem with most of us, as regards our shooting, is that we have too many guns. It is nigh on to impossible to make two guns shoot exactly the same. We all may have a couple or three that we can interchange and shoot "pretty good". But, the old saw that goes "Beware the man with one gun" has it's roots in the fact that muscle memory is real. And especially so as it regards shooting a shotgun. A man can get used to almost any handling quality in a shotgun with enough trigger time ...... muzzle heavy, muzzle light, neutral ....... heavy gun, light gun ..... doesn't matter. You can get to where you can shoot it well if the stock dims reasonably fit you.

The fly in the ointment is when you are used to shooting a 8 1/2# duck gun and you pick up a 5# 12 oz. bird gun and expect to shoot it well right off the bat. Ain't gonna happen.

Recoil pads change the dynamics, sure. But, not so much that you cannot compensate for it if you spend enough time behind the trigger on it.

Cervellati pads are great and much lighter than pachmayr and other rubber pads

They are more fragile than hard rubber when shaping

Reference pads and rebalancing a double. I removed a hard rubber pad and replaced it with cervellati pad and reduced the pad weight by more than 50%

While I agree practice is the most important factor in hitting targets. I believe that balance and what some refer to as Moment of Inertia (MOI) is important too.

Changing the balance on a gun can really improve how it feels and your ability to hit with it. I have used microcell pads on three guns with positive results for me.

I went back just now and reweighed the pachmayr pad that came off my SLE and the first cervellati pad I ground down to replace it ( my second attempt was better looking) 3.8 oz to 1.7 oz, which is a 56% reduction and moved the COB almost 5/8 of an inch forward.
