As always some excellent info there Pinot!

On the weighing comments:
My only queery about weighing the coffee and the filter basket befor extracting, is that, by the time you load it back in the group handle the basket and handle will be cold. Not to mention the ground coffee would be starting to heat up. That is assuming you are keeping the handle and basket warm!!!!!!
Then if you had tamped the coffee before weighing it, all the fiddling about could see you with a cracked cake. Then you will end up with channelling etc, etc.
