I have owned a lightweight Govt. model and it was really great. I believe almost a half pound lighter. Ditto the Alloy BHP and the little Star BKM.

The Commander has such a totally different feel compared to the Govt. model for only being 1/2" or so shorter. What a subtle difference can make. The same for your 6" Redhawks, the factory 5.5" feels clubby but the 6" changes everything.

I also have a couple 6" SA that are great improvements over the traditional 5.5" and fit in the same 5.5" holsters. Little changes can make big differences in feel.
