I have a scale and weigh fly lines all the time. This is because I make all of the lines I use on my 2 handed rods. I can tell you that as little as 10 grains can make a difference in how a line casts. In my opinion 15 to 20% is a huge margin of error and I would hope the line manufactors are a lot closer then that.
