If the LCD weight is an issue, then stay away from the Abyss. It's a very impractical design - at least as heavy, and is actually meant to be worn with about 1/2" space between the earpads and your head, so that it's very finnicky to keep it in the right place when you move your head.
I felt the DT-1770 is like a more mature version of the Soundmagic HP-100, with far more organic reproduction of the highs. Though I would have to do another A/B to say anything about 1770 compared to 770. I would still take the Zolkis modded TH-900 over the 1770, as the bass texture & lushness seemed more pleasing, but the isolation is less.
I would've just bought them to try and see how they fit me, but at their price the cut on the resale is too high.
DT990 do really well with electronic music, the treble and bass sound amazing with synths and it is definitively one of the best headphones I've ever tried for some old trance or even progressive house.
I find the DT990 a little too bright, unless people have modded them somehow.
