Jean-Marie, I can confirm that Max is indeed a swell guy!

The Boynton palette is only balanced because of an extra piece of wood that is added on the down side which makes it much heavier. If you are so concerned about the mid value you can ask someone like Max to NOT finished the wood and you can paint it and do your own shellac, although it will Gray with use. Carl has a palette posted somewhere here that is a technological wonder with mid 5 Gray and a scale on the side.
Go into your kitchen and pick up a medium size sauce pan perhaps with a lid, then in your other hand pick up a 4 oz tube of paint and there you can see the difference. If my memory serves me Max's are more economical and I consider a piece of art in itself.
