Isn't the reason for the heavy fewer plates versus the several lighter plates better for keeping the center of gravitiy more central? That's what I always thought but, I always do like to see all of the colors.

There is actually physics involved, we just did this in the weight room the other day for kids to feel the difference.  For fun one day set up a bench for like 185 (if you can do that or whatever weight really) then do a few reps.  Then take it all off and set it up with 185 with all 5 lb plates and feel the difference it is funny how it feels harder.
