I don't have first hand experience with the Lancair sound proofing material, but sound proofing and weight go hand-in-hand.  Heavier/denser materials are better sound deadeners--just the nature of the physics involved.  There's a few materials that a bit lighter but they also suffer from reduced sound attenuation.  In short, light material and good sound deadening are as incongruent as a dry martini.

I bought the same soundproofing kit from Lancair that Bryan did and my interior installer told me not to use it.  He said it was all open cell foam, which will, over time, dry up and slowly disintigrate into powder.  He put in closed cell foam.  Between the cost of the stuff and shipping (it's HEAVY), it was a total waste of a pretty good chunk of change.
